Did vou hear the one about . . ?
Jokes are funny things. Either
they,make you laugh or they
don't; there is no such animal as
an almost-funny joke. And if there
is a joke of the '80s, it's a sick joke.
Humor has gone out the* door.
Cross is enough. And speaking of
gross, dead baby jokes were big a
little while ago. How do you get 99
dead babies in a paper bag?
Cuisinart.
Blotch. But people laugh.
What's black and white and red
and can't turn around in a phone
booth? A penguin with a /avelin
through its head.
Funny. Real funny.
So we hear a lot of of sic k jokes
— but the old jokes are still
around. Ethnic jokes are the
perfect example. Alt you have to
do is change the nationality and
you have a new joke.
Why doesn't Italy have a na
tional tishf It drowned.
Change a few words and you
have a Mexican immigration joke.
Why won't Mexico have an Olym
pic team in 1984f Because anyone
who can run, jump or swim is
already in LA.
And jokes of the ethnic variety
lokes apply to other groups, too.
How many Artesians does it take
to screw in a lightbulb? Two. lust
two. Think about that one.
But the pun, the oldest form of
humor, is going the way of the
dodo and the passenger pigeon.
Now a pun doesn't even get a
groan, much less a laugh. Usually
it just garners a dirty look and, if
it's really bad, some flying objects.
Of course, the dirty joke is in
fine form in the '80s. No examples
here; this is a classy publication.
(Heard any good ones lately?)
