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?)
