If I've nothing to say...well, sometimes I post anyway...:)
Well, I put up the start of a cracking good joke 2 days ago (the sort that needs replies to make it funnier, and the answers delivered by drip feed. Over 100 views, no responses. Specifically stated not to answer if you know the gag. So some clot eventually replies, spews out all the answers (has heard it before), no joke delivery skills. An excellent joke completely screwed up. It's the only joke I know that starts and finishes with a punch line.
If the joke is a cracker I always give a response. Even just one word will give the poster some gratification. Imagine being a stand up comic with an audience behind a soundproof screen. They're all pissing themselves laughing, but the comic gets no feedback. After a while he wouldn't be funny anymore. That's why canned laughter doesn't work, and why a live audience does. Don't you just love those almost out-take moments when the players can hardly get the words out?
LIVE-LIVE-LIVE so
FEEDBACK-FEEDBACK-FEEDBACK or FEEBACK
Did you know you can tell a persons nationality by how many times he laughs at a joke?
A Frenchman laughs once - he catches on straight away.
A German laughs twice - once to be polite when you tell it and again when you explain it but he never catches on.
An English man laughs three times - once to be polite when you tell it and again when you explain it then again in about three weeks when he suddenly catches on.
An American dose not Laugh at all he has heard it before.
I wonder how many feather are going to be ruffled by that, it will probably prove my point.
Regards

Allan your lucky such as Fenderbelly and myself have put jokes up only to have them moved to the ORANGE ROOM cause they are BLUE no one sees them did you count those in the stats.
minor thread hijack...
true story...:rolleyes:
An Australian professor was invited to Japan to adress a group of scientists interested in his research.
Unable to speak Japanese, he used an interpreter,
Being Australian, he liked to entertain his listeners with the odd joke.
Aware that the Japanese may not get his jokes, he was a bit tentative,
During the presentation he tried a little joke...when translated, the audience giggled...
Encouraged, he tried a few more and the audience again laughed....
...Later ...on his return to Australia he was sent a transcript of his presentation (as translated by the interpreter)...
the translation of every one of his jokes went thus......
"The honourable Australian professor has just made a joke....it would be polite to laugh now".....
Now that's funny
:rofl:
Ahhh, the ORANGE ROOM jokes.Quote:

However, this has proven to be a lively discussion and certainly
attracted more attention than any recent jokes. Well done everyone.

:U Only passing them round Allan, enjoying many of them .
Sadly i am deleting more and more these days either not worth the effort or to large an attachment.
The good ones well :;
Most of those put up are either older than when JC played full back for Jerusalem(sp) or just to childish, ie copied from the kids pages in the Sunday papers
Just my opinion though . Just carry on for those who follow them
