* Why did Hoover cross the road? To get to the other side. (This joke is a play on words, as Hoover's policies often resulted in people losing their jobs and homes.)
* What did Hoover say to the starving man? "Here, have a nice big bowl of gruel." (This joke references the fact that Hoover often suggested that the unemployed and hungry simply eat gruel, which was a thin and watery porridge.)
* Why did Hoover's dog run away? Because he couldn't stand the smell of poverty. (This joke references Hoover's perceived lack of empathy and compassion for the suffering of the American people.)
These are just a few examples of the many jokes that were made about President Hoover during the Great Depression. These jokes reflected the widespread dissatisfaction with Hoover's policies and his handling of the economy, and they contributed to his image as a bumbling and ineffective leader.
