email 'jokes'

[rich p]

I must have had every joke in the world 5 times by now. The same ones come forwarded from 4 different people. They're usually misgonyst, American and very very rarely funny - which,after all, is the point of a joke.
When the internet first burst upon us it had a novelty value which has long since worn off and has also killed the great art of joke telling down the pub cos everyone else got the email too.!

You just need to find funnier drinking buddies.

In the meantime, try one of the following:

1. don't read joke emails.
2. think up some new jokes to tell folk - they'll be amazed given that the great art of joke telling is dead.
3. exchange amusing anecdotes about the use of email and the internet.
4. exchange "facts" that the invent of the internet has allowed you to learn more easily than before.
