My Collection Of Favorite Jokes

Phew! Twenty-five jokes have been posted since this exercise was first announced in I Can Learn To Be Funny? Am I funnier yet? I dunno. But my brain does feel more creative than usual, and in a joyful way. I'm gaining a greater appreciation for well worded phrases, even those that aren't humorous.

Here are the jokes on display; all sorted, labled, and numbered for you. (Although in terms of how much I prefer each joke the numbers mean nothing, zip, zilch.) Admission is free. Clicking to each joke below also includes all sorts of commentary by moi—so if you don't want that, go no further.

Now I understand why you've been ruining all of these jokes by analysing them!
Hope it worked for you :)

Some good ones there, by some masters. Here's another classic:

you: "Ask me the most important thing about comedy."

friend: "Ok, what's the most imp.."

you: "TIMING"
