I remember being in a library when I heard that and laughing so hard I nearly vomited (guess you had to be there). Had to be helped from the building.

Hey, watch the spoilers!

What does the famed “Aristocrats” joke family count as? Anti-humor? Dead-baby comedy? Jungian-memetic hacking?

Joke that was rejected by a Saturday Night Live censor:

If Helen Keller was alone and fell in a forest, would she make a sound?

What’s black and white, and red all over, and has trouble going through revolving doors?

A nun. With a spear through her head.

Here’s a host of deliberately overly-PC jokes - Bernard Righton. (To get the joke fully, you have to know that he’s based on the infamous racist/sexist/homophobic “comedian” Bernard Manning.)

There’s also a load of really unpleasant and dirty jokes that sadly I can’t repeat here, but you can find them if you google “sickipedia”.

I thought Righton was pretty funny. I may have to share that with some rather humorless friends.

Q. What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back when you throw it?

A. A stick.

I like to tell this one in conjunction with “What’s brown and sticky” and “What’s a foot long and slippery.”

I love some of these - the ones that come back hard and wrong like the ‘what’s worse than finding a worm in your apple’ one.

They remind me of a line one comedian used on a another comedian: "oh yeah, he’s a master of everyday, observational comedy everyone can relate to - like, “you know when you get nervous and strangle the hooker?” "

I suppose Sarah Silverman does this sometimes - but it feels like she doesn’t get it right as often as she’d like…
