"The conclusion EVERY TIME is, if the post in question does not evoke a laugh from you, then use the "next" button, that's what it's for. That includes this post, by the way." Trouble is, by then it's too late!

Beg to differ..."Um, this ain't a joke thread".... This IS a joke thread...if you go to the original post it says: Started By: BKS Date: Sep 10, 1996 11:48 AM Let us laugh..Tell us a joke! When people do conversations or other back-and-forths that aren't funny to most people and could easily be done in PMs to avoid mucking up the thread, it annoys a lot of people who use the thread to look for jokes. There's been an unwritten rule for as long as I've read the thread (a couple months after it started, I think) that if you post some chat or non-joke that you need to post an "obligatory joke" which you seem to know, since you did just that. I hope others will take the hint.. OJ: Did you hear how Jackie Kennedy broke her hand helping Jack off a horse?
