KNOCK KNOCK JOKE

KNOCK KNOCK
WHO'S THERE?
WAA
WAAHOO

Submitter comment: IN ALL KNOCK KNOCK JOKES THE SAME FORMAT IS USED.
HOWEVER IN THIS PARTICULAR ONE THE FORMAT IS CUT SHORT.
BEFORE THE JOKE IS BEING TOLD THE PERSON
WHO INTENDS TO ACT AS RESPONDER IS ASKED TO WAVE HIS ARM IN
A CIRCLE ABOVE HIS HEAD. IT USUALLY TAKES A FEW MOMENTS
FOR THE RESPONDER TO REALIZE THE JOKE.
