    I would just like to apologise for my recent jokes.... I hold my hand up and say, I did for a brief time, forget the 3 golden lounge rules on posting jokes... 1. Don't try to trick people, they are a sensitive people 2. Do ensure your jokes stick to the following subjects: Email Scams, URGENTZ CODEZ COMMENTZ, and food related humour 3. Lastly, and most importantly, don't post a joke that hasn't already been posted Remember, a good joke is only a good joke if everyone else can think of something witty to respond with that doesn't involve resulting to insults, flaming and/or down voting

      There's only one rule. It should be funny. If you are the only one laughing, it's not a joke.

      there are many types of humour[^], why? because different people find different things funny - I would literal kill myself if the only type of joke in the world was people tripping up, but thankfully it isn't

      I think a joke is only something that is intended to be funny, if a person doesn't like it then maybe it becomes an "unfunny joke" (at least to that person anyway)

            I did, I checked with myself and the verdict was clear, both of us loved it

            If my jokes make me laugh, then I have already succeeded with 100% of my target audience

                                'You are in big trouble Mister!' I don't know if you know but different people have different sense of humor. Some people don't like Monthy Python. It's stupid for them. For me some thing else is stupid. Like Hubba Bubba on youtube. It's so hard to understand?

                                      I'm not sure whether to downvote you for hypocrisy, or upvote you for a neat little paradox... Hmm... Decisions, decisions... Eh... Both require effort... I opt for neither.

                                        Perhaps check my other reply, and for the record I have only down-voted one post all day
