Some jokes are so simple that they’re hard not to smile at. Here’s a classic-style animal pun to share with friends or family.
The riddle
What do you call a horse that lives next door?
Think about the sound a horse makes, and a familiar word for someone who lives nearby.
The answer
A neigh-bor!
It’s a playful twist on “neighbor,” replacing the opening sound with a horse’s “neigh.”
It’s the kind of gentle, silly joke that works especially well around the dinner table. Can you think of another good animal pun?
