dot hog

[jasonlulu_2000]

The following is from a joke book.

1. Mr. Krabs: What's the difference between a wiener and someone who grabs all the spots?
SpongeBob: One's a hotdog and the other's a dot hog.



2. Why did SpongeBob put a circle of Krusty Krab sandwiches around his house?
Because he wanted to have an outdoor patty.o.


I cannot make sense of the humor in them. What is funny about them?

Thanks !

Jason

1. Hog is another word for pig. Pigs are known for eating as much food as they can get, and for not sharing with others. (Why pigs get this bad rap is beyond me.) So, a "dot hog" would be a person who 'hogs' the dots.

1a. Hey, don't hog all the pizza. Leave some for us!
1b. Don't be a ball hog- pass it to someone else!

2. Many sandwiches (hamburgers are a good example) are made of a round mass of ground-up meat, called a patty. A hamburger is a patty of meat between two halves of a bun. We wouldn't make a crab sandwich by placing a whole crab between two pieces of bread; we grind up the meat from several crabs to make a patty. A circle of crab sandwiches would make the shape of a letter "O". A patio is a paved outdoor living space with no walls.

Nothing much.

To add to what J&K has said, they're plays on words.
In (1), "dot hog" flip-flops "hot dog," and the "t" and "g" trade places.
In (2), "outdoor patty" is a play on "outdoor party." In some dialects (not in mine), the "r" in "party" would go unpronounced.
