It is said that ALL jokes can be broken down into a combination of the following.
1/ Incongruous or surprising
2/ Puns and plays on words
3/ Exageration
4/ In jokes
Can you find one that does not?
Ok - I can't resist trying to give a one line example from memory of each. I challenge my readers to come up with four better one liners (which shouldn't be difficult
1/ How does it change many dyslexics to take a light bulb?
2/ Famous football result - East Fife 4 - Forfar 5!
3/ I've told you a million times not to exagerate!
4/ Fusion power is 30 years away and always has been.
(Incidentally, there is a credible answer to the last one! Must post it in the next week or so.)
