Tried this on the Critique thread (which doesn't come up on Active Threads) so will try and get a more general view as I got no answer from the "comedy experts"
MODERATOR EDIT: This has been moved into Critique. Please don't double-post.

My wife asked me to explain this joke she read in the paper yesterday....................and I couldn't help her. What have I missed ?
"Of all the materials on Earth to choose from, why did God advise Noah to 'go for wood' when building the Ark?"
God instructed Noah to make the Ark from Gopher Wood
And no It's not funny
Ah, Oh I see......................(tumbleweed, mournful church bell in distance) , thanks Steve for confirming I hadn't lost my comedy mojo.
Plus you'd need one hell of a lot of aroused gophers....
