This joke might be an old one, but it is still funny. Enjoy
Knott:   Who's calling?
Watt:    Watt.
Knott:   What is your name, please?
Watt:    Watt's my name.
Knott:   That's what I asked you. What's you name?
Watt:    That's what I told you. Watt's my name.
A long pause, and then from Watt,
Watt:    Is this James Brown?
Knott:   No, this is Knott.
Watt:    Please tell me you name.
Knott:   Will Knott.
Watt:    Why not?
Knott:   Huh? What do you mean why not?
Watt:    Yeah! Why won' you tell me your name?
Knott:   But I told you my name!
Watt:    Didn't you say you will not?
Knott: Not not, Knott, Will Knott!
Watt:    That's what I mean.
Knott:   So you know my name.
Watt:    Of course not!
Knott:   Good. So now, what is yours?
Watt:    Watt. Yours?
Knott:   Your name!
Watt:    Watt's my name.
Knott:   How the hell do I know? I am asking you!
Watt:    Look. I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me yours.
Knott:   You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours.
Watt:    Of course not!
Knott:   See, you even know my name!
Watt:    Of course not!
Knott:   Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?
Watt:    Because I don't.
Pause
Knott:   What is your name?
Watt:    See, you know my name!
Knott:   Of course not!
Watt:    Then why do you keep asking. Watt is your name?
Knott:   To find out your name!
Watt:    But you already know it!
Knott:   What?
Watt:    See, and you know mine!
Knott:   Of course not!
Watt:    Exactly!
Knott:   Listen, listen, wait; If I asked you what you name is, what will be you answer?
Watt:    Watt's my name.
Knott:   No, no, give me only one word.
Watt:    Watt
Knott:   You name!
Watt:    Right!
Pause before it hits him
Knott:   Oh, Wright!
Watt:    Yeah!
Knott:   So why you didn't you say it before?
Watt:    I told you so many times!
Knott:   You never said Wright before.
Watt:    Of course I did.
Knott:   Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?
Watt:    I do not.
Knott:   Well, there you go, now we know each other's name.
Watt:    I do not!
Knott:   Good!
Pause before it hits him
Watt:    Oh, Guud!
Knott:   Good.
Watt:    No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?
Knott:   No, it's Knott.
Watt:    Oh, ok. At least the names are clear now Guud.
Knot:    Yes Wright.
Very clever. If it's old, I've never heard it. It's adorable. I won't even try and analyze it, I'll just enjoy it for it's simplicity.
