Bones. Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. Some of my favorite skeletons include that of Aaron Kelly from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the "Partytime" Skeleton from the 1985 film Return of the Living Dead, and of course Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen from the SpongeBob Squarepants episode "One Krabs Trash."

Because I enjoy skeletons so much and Halloween is only 147 days away, I thought it only appropriate to take this Sunday evening and share some of my favorite skeleton jokes.

Either way, here's Mr. Skeltal to play you out!
