I've always wondered - would the phony dog stuff in the joke shop be called sham poo? And is a sham rock the opposite of a real rock?

I've been doing stuff like this for years. When I was a kid, there would be times when I'd remind my mom of something and she'd answer, "I'm aware!" I would always add, "wolf!" and run off. For some reason, she called me a brat.

I blame it all on the Jokes and Riddles I read in Highlights magazine. Therefore, when my mom groans at my puns, I can blame her for buying me that magazine for so many years.
