Going for the treble...

I told my mate that I have a pet termite called Clint.

"That's a strange name for a termite," he said. "How come?"

"His full name is Clint Eatswood..."

And a literal sick joke:

Two piles of vomit were walking down the road when one of them burst into tears.

"What's the matter?" asked his mate.

"You see that derelict old pub across the road? That's where I was brought up..."

And finally:

I asked the counter clerk at the motel if I could have porn disabled in my room.

"Certainly not! We only do normal porn here, you sick bastard!"

Patient (to his doctor during a prostate exam): How's it look back there, Doc?

Doctor: Well, you seem to have a lettuce leaf protruding from your posterior.

Patient: Is that serious?

Doctor: It's just the tip of the iceberg.

Dave Allen was one of my favourite comedians, especially when talking about religion.

Yeah, I was thinking Dave Allen's routine had a similar structure to bits that Newhart, Sid Caesar, Jackie Mason and the like were doing back in the 50's and early 60's. I imagine that style originated in Vaudeville. I thought that bit was hilarious, DA had a show that used to appear on my local PBS affiliate back in the 80's, also very funny.

I would have thought that it was very much their cup of tea (or cup of coffee, if you prefer). I'm thinking of routines such as Bob Newhart's 'Driving Instructor'.

He was a genious :-) Have you seen "Dave Allen at peace" with Aiden Gillan in the staring role? It is very good.

There are a few US comedies and comedians that I find funny but, generally, I struggle with some of the US humour too. I think it may be a cultural thing.

In the restaurant I asked the waitress for a lobster tail. "Certainly, sir," she replied. "Once upon a time there was this very handsome lobster..."

I am always bemused by the way that humour does not seem (for the most part) to cross the Atlantic.

An example of, to me, superb humour can be found in the attached Dave Allen sketch

I remember the first time I told my wife that I loved her. We were in a bar at happy hour knocking back 2 for 1 gin and tonics when I laid it on her. She wrote it off with, "Oh, gilly, you're drunk."
I assured her, "It's not just the booze talking. It's also the pot, the coke and the Xanax."

I think it is interesting (rather than infuriating) that there is a person who does not understand what a joke is. Are there others? Is there a literature on the subject?

What *is* a joke? Perhaps Freud can help.

Talk about verse? Yes stories are best compared to comedians who recite 20 jokes and their set is done. Observational humor works well over here. I don't have fellow writers to bounce ideas back and forth but I HAVE SOME INTERESTING BRAIN DROPPINGS every year or two.

I live the embarrassment of Larry David without presenting it as entertainment or art. He gets good help though.

A wife got so mad at her husband she packed his bags and told him to get out. As he walked to the door she yelled, "I hope you die a long, slow, painful death."
He turned around and said, "So, you want me to stay?

Yes, Dave,this is the B.S. section and posting here is restricted to members. You've been posting for an abusive former member. Wether that is counter to the M.C. rules I don't know. I just find it creepy, as I said earlier. I hope that's clear enough and that we can get back to the jokes and whatever it is that Don does (well, maybe not that last part).

That's great, Don but just for a change of pace how about sharing a joke.

A (Grateful) deadhead was walking down the street one day when a pixie pounced on him. "Today is your lucky day!" said the pixie. "I'm gonna give you two wishes. What will the first one be?" The hippie thinks for a moment and then says, "I want a never-ending joint." So the pixie snaps his fingers and there is this king-sized joint. The hippie sparks it up and starts puffing. After five hits the joint is still the same length. Next the pixie says, "...And number two?" The hippie replies, "This is so cool man! Gimme another one!"

But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said

Rape jokes? I suppose all is fair in humor since it is the context and not the word's evil meaning. There are odd eggs who think rape is worse than murder. I know people who have recovered from rape, but murder?
There is a rumor that only one ancient Jew managed to recover from murder.

Besides if you try to switch rape and murder/kill it doesn't work. For example, the song Raping me Softly is awkward. Or the movies Rape Bill one and two, or the book To Rape a Mockingbird.
