Winners of 'Ears to Fred and George Contest Announced
LeakyLoungeIn the lead up to the birthday of Weasley Twins Fred and George, the winners of the Ears to Fred and George Contest are ready to be announced. In February, we asked you to send us your ideas for a new, and possibly better, ear joke for George. After many amazing and hilarious submissions, the winners of this contest are:
1st Place – Amber
”’Eh? What’s that you say?” George asked, cupping the hole where his ear had been.
“I SAID, WHERE’S HARRY?” Ron bellowed as his mother walked in.
George looked confused…
“Oh, no, it’s not just your ear that you lost. Your hearing’s gone, too!” Molly fretted.
“Oh, don’t worry, mum,” George said immediately. “The hearing loss is only selective.”
2nd Place – MalfoyDiva
Fred: You okay George?
George: I’m great! I’m going to be an amazing Quidditch player now!
Fred: Why is that?
George: Less wind resistance!
3rd Place – MalfoyDiva
Fred: Sorry you lost your ear mate.
George: Well you know what they say, ‘Ear today gone Tomorrow’!
1st Place – Nobodey
Weasleys Wizard Wheezes An extendable ear is better than no ear at all!
2nd Place – Nobodey
Weasleys Wizard Wheezes! Now 25 percent less earwax!
3rd Place – Jukilum
“No more ‘in one ear and out the other’!”
Congratulations to all!

lovegood, I wasn’t making fun, I am honestly not understanding the humor and was hoping someone would give me a clue. It wouldn’t be the first time I didn’t get it. :/
CarolynJ, selective hearing is when one person hears what another person has to say, but chooses not to listen to it. In this joke, George CAN hear what Ron’s saying, but he’s choosing not to pay attention to it. That’s why he says the hearing loss is only selective. ;)
Amber …Huh? What? Could you use all caps please? ROTFL
I thought these were very good. I can’t come up with jokes so anyone who can is very talented in my book. Congratulations to the winner! Thanks for making us laugh.
Carolyn…you should see how that joke goes over when I play it on new people I’ve just met and who don’t know that I’m almost completely deaf in real life.
