I do.

But it's too sweet to eat in great amounts.

You may hereto for, henceforth, have mine.

Yay! Cool

I think some things tend to be unfunny, but that in being unfunny, they store up a potential for funniness. For instance, a recent tragedy is not funny to start with, but becomes easier to joke about over time.

Also, degree plays a part. Ten pints of beer can be very funny, but just two is less so, especially when it's lager, accompanied by a single packet of crisps.

Joke:

Sir Endocrine Poltergeist walks into a bar. "I'll have a pint of Mistaken-Kips-Kin please. The barman says "do you want some Josuelumbertub in your Mistaken-Kips-Kin?" "Yes please," says Sir Endocrine Poltergeist. "Why?" says the barman. Sir Endocrine Poltergeist quickly replies, "It conjoins my inexorability."

I once spent an hour laughing at the names in a telephone directory. I had just smoked a couple of joints mind. :)

That's not racist. That's culturally different.
