Post a bad joke

Post Reply New Topic

as you wish...

you are a very good moderator.
you saved me the angst of not being able to edit it or remove it tomorrow when i see it was totally inappropriate.

however it may be better to remove my post altogether because it says that the joke was extremely racist, and people may imagine the edited out part, and it was truly not something i wish for others to impute what i said.

thank you for not summarily banning me for that.

I agree.

So what is it that makes a joke "bad"? Most of the jokes I've posted were either something that I thought wouldn't make a five-year-old laugh, or they would make a person groan instead of laugh, or they have dark humor or potty humor (but nothing too extreme).

But most of the jokes I think are really bad I don't want to post because they are bigoted and cruel, and I'd get banned from WP for sure, anyway. I'm even nervous about posting blonde or Newfie jokes, although I find many of them to actually be funny.

I thought "bad" was to relieve us of the burden of finding a joke that is funny to 100% of readers.
Sort of a twist along the lines of "Sing as if no one is listening."

Why did Emily Dickinson's chicken cross the road?
Because it could not stop for death.

A guy with a head cold asked his doctor how he could keep it from going into his chest.
The physician told him, "Go tie a knot in your neck."

I love these patient-doctor jokes, they put me in stitches. Here's another one:

A guy with a bad cold goes to the doctor. The doctor tells him "You do know that I can't cure you. No doctor can cure the common cold."
The patient says "I know that, but isn't there something I can do to feel better?"
"Of course there is." The physician replied. "What you should do is go straight home and take a nice, long, hot bath. Then get out and put on your bathrobe, but don't dry yourself. Then rush outside and roll around in the snow for at least thirty minutes."
"But doc, that would make my cold develop into pneumonia!" the patient cried.
"Exactly" the doctor told him. "Now that I can cure for you!"
