A blog explaining jokes
« on: March 16, 2017, 09:41:00 am »

I have a weird sense of humor, and so to be funny I used to explain jokes to my co-workers at work.

I know that this kills the humor of a joke - that was what was funny to me.

One day one of them said "You should write down your explanations, because they would be useful to non-native English speakers"

That got me started blogging about jokes.

Now, I have over 100 jokes analyzed, and I am pretty sure that I will be able to keep blogging about jokes for as long as I can find a ready source of jokes.

If you want to help me kill more jokes (by explaining them), please post them here. If they are not offensive (my blog is family friendly, and my 6 year old reads it some times) I will explain why they are funny in future posts.

If you care to see the result of my efforts, here is the blog.

Thanks! I have written up a explanation of the joke, and posted it.

If anyone else has a joke, I'd love to hear it. :)

Nice write-up.  Yeah, it's definitely pre-Millenial, by a few decades, but you dealt well with it.  ;)

Have a more timeless (although also quite old, maybe also a bit culturally regional, sorry...) joke, as reward:


Two little old ladies take their deckchairs down to the beach, not realising that just the other side of the breakwater is a designated naturist sports area.  A beach volleyball gets accidentally flung over the barrier, and followed by a totally naked man who leaps over to retrieve it.

The first little old lady has a stroke. The other one couldn't quite reach, unfortunately.
