I've heard the phrase jokes are ten a penny a fair few times on here. Just wondered what the going rate is. Apart from Tony Coward the pro, who has sold jokes- and what do they get for them?

Why am I taking the piss? My original reply was to the point about Nate's joke. Is this not critique?

I was referring to Nates joke too. Ie someone literally took the piss in it. It was a joke.

Ah, my apologies for being precious.
S'ok 
Just thought of this.
I went to a Zen Buddhist and he hypnotised me and pulled one of my teeth out.
I said "Why did you do that?"
He said "Aren't you here for trance and dental medication?"
Good but id male the trance bit trance music more of a twist
Good idea, but how to avoid the word 'trance' in the setup?
I went to a rave once with trance music and saw a Zen Budhist who hypnotised me and pulled out one of my teeth,
Why did you do that I asked.
Because I don't like your dancing he replied.
Alright, I've spent some time working on this one. Here's what I came up with.
After the job interview, they gave me the option of doing the drug test at the store. I was nervous because I was fired from my last job after giving a urine sample. To be fair, the coffee tested negative.
That version doesn't really work

I've never sold a joke for a penny, let alone ten.

I think it was good as it was, it made me laugh, don't listen to Nick81, every joke he comment on it either "heard it before" "saw it coming" or "unoriginal!"
I'm sure I'll be telling your joke down the pub later so I'll let you know how many people laugh! don't worry, if it bombs I'll make sure my mates know it was one of yours! lol!

Not for the first time you feel the need to chirp up regarding me. This is critique, I was being honest with him, that was all. As for "telling it down the pub", I'd rather tell a good quality joke (no offence Nate) so I'll leave it to you to copy and paste from joke sites to use.
