    I read it that the dad was the postie delivering the mail, so rather than going the 5 miles to deliver it, he should have just posted it... (but since he is the postie delivering the mail... you get it now, right?)

      Huh, that's what I thought it was. Guess I just don't think it's funny.

      A joke from some website:

      A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub."

      Now that's funny!

        I know my jokes are bad, but really You actually found this joke on another site and honestly thought CodeProject members would find it funny? Seriously? Even my 7 year old son would roll his eyes at that! ** In case there's a cultural reference thing here, I should point out that a couple of my recent posts (What's a Grecian Urn and What's a Hindu, are 'classics' - not posted as fine examples of humour! How High's a chinaman?

          If you lived in the US you'd probably be willing to walk 5 miles, rather than deliver the parcel to the postal service - it would be delivered faster, and probably in one piece. I checked out the link you posted; I've never seen a larger collection of humor that isn't in the least entertaining. It seems to be a site entirely devoted to jokes that aren't funny. I find that interesting, since this site has a long history of failing to appreciate jokes posted by people from India and closely allied countries in the region. It finally dawns on my dim mind that this goes beyond a mere failure to translate from Malayalam to English; this is a cultural disconnect rooted in disparate worldviews. Methinks that this matter requires some thought... On the other hand, the site features an ad for a web service provider that offer free SQL Server applications - that deserves a second look. The price is right... :-D

          Bahahahahahahahahaha!!!! That is the funny! Because when you say "the price is right", you are talking about the product being free! I get it! That is so funny! I swear, that must be the reaction some people get from these lame jokes they post. :doh:

                            He maybe an indian, that doesnt mean this kinda jokes should be posted in indian forum. Discourage him not to post that kinda jokes instead directing him to post in GIT. Or better, vote to remove it.

                                  Ohkay from what you are saying, we should have a forum for Australia, UK, Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil and other countries for posting their post?! Sounds so foolish!

                                      Reason for my vote of one right back at you: If you look at the OPs' profile, he comes from India?

                                      And? May be I should say it slow and clear again: the GIT forum is for discussing stuff that's got something to do with culture or cultural humour, general topics related to India, cricket, for and other similar stuff. If someone posts a lame joke, you don't tell them to post it in the GIT. That's not what it was meant for.

                                        If you lived in the US you'd probably be willing to walk 5 miles, rather than deliver the parcel to the postal service - it would be delivered faster, and probably in one piece. I checked out the link you posted; I've never seen a larger collection of humor that isn't in the least entertaining. It seems to be a site entirely devoted to jokes that aren't funny. I find that interesting, since this site has a long history of failing to appreciate jokes posted by people from India and closely allied countries in the region. It finally dawns on my dim mind that this goes beyond a mere failure to translate from Malayalam to English; this is a cultural disconnect rooted in disparate worldviews. Methinks that this matter requires some thought... On the other hand, the site features an ad for a web service provider that offer free SQL Server applications - that deserves a second look. The price is right... :-D

                                        Nish has suggested that people tell these jokes in the Indian forum. He suggests westerners have heard them all already as kids. He's wrong, the jokes I told as an 8 year old were a LOT funnier than this.

                                          My vote of one: GIT is NOT for "jokes" like that. It's a board for general Indian topics, cricket, cultural discussion, and cultural humour (this 'joke' has no cultural reference either). In fact, there is no place on this site for jokes like that, let alone GIT.

                                          Nish has suggested that it should be, a way for Indians to be saved from themselves, because of the response to these sort of terrible jokes from people in the West.
