"I do not understand, is it not supposed to make logical sense?"

"Hmm, I am not certain. I was told that often jokes are humorous because an individual can relate to them or they remind the person of something familiar. For it not to make sense... does that not go against that theory?"

"I am uncertain. As I can see, they are filled with grammatical errors with a 'punch line' that is a misrepresentation of the language in which it is told... Do you find anything particularly 'funny' about any of these?"

"A punch line...?" [A pause.] "Well... I do not feel the desire to laugh or smile, so I suppose not. Perhaps it really is the delivery of the words that is important."

"Hmm... another test then. Knock Knock."

"Who is there?"

"Orange."

"...orange who?"

"Are you not pleased that I did not tell you another 'knock knock' joke?" [A Pause.] "That is not right..."

"...no. What relation does that have to an orange?" [Confused Eley is confused, but after a moment's silence, he'll speak up again.] "Perhaps I can try a different kind of joke..."

"Please do."

[Time passes, but soon Eley speaks again.] "I used to be a doctor, but then I lost patients."

[A pause.] "You were a doctor? And I have always known you to have an incredible amount of patience."

"...ah, no. I was not actually a doctor. That is a part of the joke. Besides that, the word 'patience' is also referring to those the doctor cares for." [Honestly though, he's realizing now how awful a joke it is.] "...death is not funny."

"Ah, I see. I believe the joke you just told is classified as a 'pun'."

"A pun... I can only see such jokes as confusing in the long-term. How can you be sure exactly what meaning a person is aiming for?"

"Perhaps it is our grasp of the lang-- hmmm... [A pause.] It would seem that my journal has been left open..."

[Oh dear.] "Does that mean everyone has been listening to our conversation?"

"That is quite possible...."

[ooc: Replies will be done by both Eleytheria and myself~ Don't be shy to poke fun at our two fail jokers.
Spock is in Green, and Eleytheria is in Blue~]

[Spock's brows drew together in slight exasperation.]

Having a phallus that large would be far more inconvenient than practical.
[Yup, overthinking again.]

[Eley just looks rather bemused by the idea, not that he'd given much thought to... male human anatomy before.]

Yes... I have to wonder why anyone would want such a thing. Is this a common wish?

Yep. It is official you both are lacking the requisite joke portion of things. Yes, a lot of dudes want bigger dicks. It is just a general truth. Ok, here is an older one. Nothing religious or sexual, just basic ridiculousness.

A man goes up to a circus to join it, he asks the boss if he can join. To which the boss asks what can you do? The man then proceeds to flap his arms up and down, up and down, moving around the big top, soaring through the air doing back flips, swirling around the whole tent before he lands, panting at the exertion. "Well?" he says to the boss. The boss gives a sniff and says "Is that all you do? Bird impressions?

[He'll pause and wait for a response, not expecting anything at this point, I mean, that one was pretty old]

[Spock gives it some thought, though he does look slightly amused.]

This joke is utilizing sarcasm, yes?

This is sarcasm?

[It seems like Eley is even further behind Spock when it came to this subject, but he was learning and that was what was important to him.

Unfortunately he still can't quite understand the reasoning behind this joke. He really didn't know all that much about humans after all...]

Am I to assume that the boss did not want them an to imitate a bird?
