Lol, what a plank.
So when is a joke good or bad and why? Page 2
YOU can say that again
Hehe.
But being serious good point zooo I may jot ideas on a bus but I lays write from a desk
Lost one bid because of a typo won't do that again

Likewise a very good joke can easily fall on stony ground in the wrong hands or on the wrong day.
Yes, especially as some of us think that obvious jokes are substandard; yet they are inevitably easier to understand and so more likely to get at least some reaction. The clever gags might risk being not understood by the, ahem, plebs.
My dogs got no nose
How does he smell
Similar to most noble gases what's that got to do with my dog?

(Audience is silent)
THE DOG FARTS
(hilarity ensues)
But now you're focusing on what they didn't like instead of being proud that you were good enough to be hired in the first place! I had a look at the jokes you put up and though a few of them are clunky, none are tired or boring, give yourself a break.

Minor point, Sootyj, but when they reject a joke and you have to refund them, how do you stop them subsequently using them/know if they do?
What I mean is, are they really rejecting them or just trying to get out of paying for all of them?

Trust I suppose and a surprisingly artistic temperament
They can have the joke bit it will bring them tears before laughter

Lofty ambitions but can't bear to look to the stars
Fair play. So no need for a self-destructing email then.
Well if you want a big pile of standard jokes then Google away what people pay for are be spokes
And if you kick up a stink and the jobs cancelled then really you've gained nothing
Like buying half a cat
Only less likely to make an interesting snack, I guess.
