  1. I remember that line, “He’s a man after my own heart” being said about Dr. Christiaan Barnard* in early 1968. Some 48 years ago!

    *Google him if you’re years younger than I.

  2. No wait, he’s a black dude, it MUST be funny. You’re just being waycist and deliberately not seeing just how funny that joke is. There are programs for you that will re-educate you to as to how any joke told by a black comedian/comedienne must be laughed at, also it must be accompanied by a sage-like nodding of the head. One day your life will depend on it.

    Actually, all I could see when reading the lines was hundreds of snowflakes forcing themselves into orgasmic, fake, hysterical laughter.

    I might be a bad person…

  4. Don’t suppose any of these were told:

    A Muslim walks into his local mosque with a big grin on his face.

    “What are you so happy about, Abdul?” Asks the Imam.

    “Well, I’ll tell you,” replies Abdul. “I live by the railroad tracks and on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to the rails, like in the American movies. I cut her free and took her back to my humble abode. Allah be praised – we made love all night, all around the tent. We did everything, me on top, sometimes her on top, every position permitted by Mohammed, Peace Be Upon Him!”

    “By the most Merciful,” exclaimed the Imam, “you have been blessed. Was she as beautiful as a desert flower?”

    Abdul grimaced, “By the Jinn, I do not know – I never found her head.”

    Reports say the stench from the thousands of bodies in Pakistan is unbearable. Police report that it’s likely to get worse now that there are dead ones.

    Mohammed said to his mate, “Do you know the best thing about having sex with a 9 year old? Pretending it’s a 5 year old!”

    Q: What do Whisky and Mohammed have in common?
    A: They both come in tots.

      • Edinburgh Fringe has never been remotely funny: it’s always been an intellect-bereft smugfest of alternative (to) comedy.

        It’s rather like intellectual masturbation:- it gives a warm glow of satisfaction to the perpetrator; it appears distasteful to most onlookers; it is of no discernible use or benefit to anyone else.

  6. Actually, I found the original gag to be moderately funny. Some have said that it is a very old joke but I hadn’t heard it before, maybe I’ve lead a very sheltered life. I also tend to like those really short jokes. I really like the style of the comedian Tim Vine who does that kind of one liner continuously. I quite admire the work ethic of a guy who has to memorise hundreds of jokes even to fill a half hour slot.

  7. I preferred the joke about telling the difference between Americans and Canadians by using long words.
