    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

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

      Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads

      When did this rule appear? Many times over the past 40 years I've been the only one laughing and I know they were jokes. You have to remember there are going to be times when those around you are too stupid to understand, but it's stil a joke.

          You forgot one: Do Not arrogantly create rules for other people to follow.

                    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

                        '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 do know this you condescending little twonk. If only one person finds it funny - and they aren't Sydneysiders, then it isn't funny. Is that so hard to understand? There:

                              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.

                                    Although I didn't actually spell it out like you, that is what I was going for with my reply (the paradox angle)... of course it got me to down votes thou

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

                                      I think they are two of them. The joke has also to be political correct, KSS and generally well sanitized. The example is some very funny jokes hammered with one votes and some extremely brainless one-liners getting plenty of 5-votes. Also it does matter who is the poster.

                                        Yeah right. I thought that in code project people are on some level of intelligence. I guess I was wrong... Is my question was reason for name calling? Or maybe I just have another point of view you than you are is the reason? And how exactly you know that only one person finds it's funny? Are you asked 6 billion peoples? Already? Ehhhh you too arrogant to discuss anything with you... :sigh:

                                          That's it Pete, tell him to fuck off, the rest of us know that if your not a Sydneysider then you don't matter.
