Can't get the joke 7 - out-of-bounds.
The joke goes like:
"What's out-of-bounds?
An exhausted kangaroo!"
What's the joke?

Something that is out of bounds is something in which you are not allowed to enter.
For example, in a restaurant, the kitchen is usually out of bounds to the customers.
But "bound" also means "hop" or "bounce". A kangaroo will normally bound across the desert or the countryside and do whatever kangaroos do. But here, the kangaroo is so tired (exhausted) that he has no more bounce (or bounds) in him. He can't move anymore, so he is "out of bounds".
