jokes can be statements
btw why do I gotta stick with the traditional methods "starts with buildup, BAM punchline there" for jokes? I always thought of joking as free-spirited entertainment, without all dem rules.
The reason the rules are there is because jokes made in that format tend to actually be funny.
OT:
"Jesus loves you.": An inspiring thing to hear in church; A terrifying thing to hear in a Mexican prison.
How is Pink Floyd similar to Princess Diana? Their last big hit was The Wall.
What do an alcoholic and a necrophiliac have in common? They both like to crack open a cold one.
Why doesn't Mexico have many Olympic teams? Because everyone who can run, jump, or swim is already across the border.
I'm so sick of racial sensitivity. I can't even say "Black paint" anymore! Now I have to say "Jamal, please paint my room."
I would have told a joke about Jonestown, but the punchline was too long.
