Q
How do you kill a joke?
A
 
I thought it would be best as a verbal (rather than written) gag, and I still think that, although I told it to my three cleverest friends yesterday, and none of them got it without having it explained to them.
Now you might just say that makes it a bad joke, but I've thought about this, and I stand by my joke. It seems to comply with the "rules" of comedy. A well-known phrase is bent into a word which is new, but which has an apparently self-explanatory etymology, and humour results.
I expect someone will just quote "and humour results" with a shaking-head smiley.
"sigh"

If a professional attempted that 'joke' in a public environment I guarantee they'd die on stage...
boom boom. |

I think if they had the confidence, and they were willing to wait long enough for the audience to get it, then they might just be able to brazen it out.
Paul Merton might have just got away with it back in the Angus days of HIGNFY. |

| but a good joke should be relatively easy to get - otherwise it's bad communication. |

Yeah, and my friend Greg got it straight away over the phone yesterday. I suppose some people are just a bit slower than others!
AHAHAHAHAHA.

That was bad, but I've come up with a worse one. How does a married man kill his mistress?
On-the-side. |

My subconscious is protesting against that joke in ways that are dimly breaking through to the surface. I love it.
