Killing time

[rawmr]

OK, here's the competition,  make up the most ridiculously corny  joke imaginable. My effort:

I couple are sitting by an empty fire place. The wife says, "I feel like a fire," to which the husband replies, "funny, you don't look like a fire."

I know I have some on my friends list who can give me a run for the money.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So I could tell this joke!

[rawmr]

Your effort does lack all subtlety and so scores high in that important category, but is it really a joke? The jury will have to deliberate this before deciding the eventual victor here.

Here's one that came out spontaneously ...

while gentlemanj and I were bouncing (actually quite serious) ideas about the use of words off each other, while playing chess on Yahoo, and how the way in which a word is used by the speaker may not, necessarily, convey the same idea in the hearer:

gentlemanj : You know why they never have two-man comedy teams in San Francisco?
starshineway : no.... why is that?
gentlemanj : Where are they going to find a straight man?

(he wouldn't send it to you, but said I could if I liked.)

Too sophisticated. So far I consider myself still in the lead, Yes!

Attempt 1:

A rabbi, a priest, and a lawyer walk into a bar and the bartender says "what is this some kind of a joke?"

Attempt 2:

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says "why the long face?"

Attempt 3:

Did you hear scientists have discovered that diarrhea is hereditary? The study shows that it runs in your jeans.

[rawmr]

All way too sophisticated

[doc_neuro]

man you've got really high standards

[doc_neuro]

oooh here's another one

Q: Why did the chicken cross the basketball court?
A: The referee called "Fowl".

Now you got it!

[rawmr]

OK now! That passes as a joke, and is utterly lacking in sophistication. But should it loose points for being more popular than my joke which, because I can't recall ever hearing it from anyone, can possibly pass as original cornball?

Well it's my conterst, so I say yes, you loose points.

WHAT DID THE BANANA SAY WHEN IT SAW THE ELEPHANT COMING?
Nothing. Bananas don't talk.

thanks, technology

I haven't cheated by using this thing yet but the concept is either desperately cool or brilliantly lame. Seems to be a trust metric system for corn. "If you like 'four wheels and flies,' you might also like 'why the rancher was mad.'"

No, wait a minute...

[rawmr]

you obviously used one of those internet generator things, which amazing replaced your comment here with the randomly generated corn I found in my mailbox. Clever, but of course you loose automatically for clever.

Re: thanks, technology

[rawmr]

No, I take that back about the random geneator, but then again your admission below satisfies the statement of loss. ;-)~
