Remember the Mummy Mummy jokes?

I haven't heard one for fifty years but they were popular when I was in high school.

Mummy Mummy, I don't want to go to Europe.
Shut up and keep swimming.

Mummy,Mummy, my braids are too tight.
(Pulls the corner of her eyes out "chinese" style to illustrate).

Mummy Mummy, I don't want to see Grandpa.
Shut up and keep digging.

The mother mother lode, however, is here and some are plenty sick.

Can I lick the bowl? Shut up and flush.
Are you sure this is the way to make ginger bread men? Shut up and get back in the oven

And so on.
And during the polio epidemic in Canada in the fifties there were Iron Lung jokes too.

A boy goes into a pawn shop
A boy goes into a pawn shop with the motor for an iron lung.
the pawn shop owner asks "where did you get this?"
the boy replies "from my father"
the pawn shop owner asks "what did he say when you took it?"
the boy replies: "AAAAUUUUGHHHH"
