I hate jokes this. Actually most times I just really don't like predetermined jokes. I like my humor on the fly and creative. Reading a joke out of a joke book and repeating it does not make you funny. It just makes you a good reader with an average memory. I can't remember the last time I told a joke like this and after writing this I vow to never do it again.
What made me think of this was a certain person that works in my school. I didn't really promote this blog around school (I doubt it would have mattered if I did) so I feel somewhat comfortable writing about people there. This particular colleague loves these jokes. He has so many of them that I am convinced he goes home and memorizes them just to come in and tell. I never know how to react to them. I usually just quickly laugh and quietly repeat the punchline to reinforce that I heard the joke. Awkward.
It is difficult to pinpoint what exactly makes something funny. Different things illicit different reactions. That is except for people tripping and falling, everyone thinks that is funny. All I know is that when you spout out something with a set punchline, most times, it is stupid. That being said have you heard the one about the priest, George Bush and Madonna...
