Joke Adoption. Page 6

The joke does work if you say:

"Ringtones sound nothing like they're supposed to. People are always surprised that I have Eurotrance music as my ringtone. So am I, it's meant to be Wagner."

But if you do it in a routine I think you'd have to also have to include a joke about how if people are stupid enough to sign up to a years' subscription to text messages just to get a ringtone (isn't that the deal that's advertised on MTV every five seconds?), then they probably don't want particularly challenging ring tones and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Or some such.

I haven't heard the neo-yuppie thing (surely everyone can afford phones unless you're on benefits?) so it didn't work for me...
Plus, I'm pretty sure the Nazis didn't pay for Jews.

Oscar Schindler did.

You're right, this conversation is in bad taste.

You are all trying far too hard to be wacky. Just breathe.....relax.....and recall the funny.
marooned I see you as a desperate person taking a joke and pushing it down onto alemon squeezer until it is unrecognizable. Just breathe.....relax......and recall the funny.

Exactly. Always remember Spandau Ballet's only UK Number One hit... it's funny 'cause it's True.

(EDIT: That may be terrible, but I just came up with it so what do you expect? And you can at least sort-of understand the gag. Which is the point really. )

That joke was non-subjective because it was written from my Dad's point of view.

What you meant I'm sure is "My Dad told me this story and I nicked it like the thieving Toe-rag I am. Aren't I clever." Isn't that the case. Come on admit it.

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying into an Onion.

I can't understand why no-one's adopting these jokes.

Please, they need a good home or they may be back on the streets again by this time tomorrow...

Maybe even sooner.

Then perhaps they could be adopted.
