Never trust the fellow that tells you that 3 blind monkeys at a typewriter can come up with a decent joke if you give them enough time!

Somehow, we've got to get a Terry Pratchett Discworld quote in here.

"Sometimes I just say things that *I* think are funny. And you know, that was a heck of a lot funnier *inside here*" (taps head)
"I paid five dollars for that joke. One day someone will laugh at it." And of course, from Mr. Izzard. (pantomimes writing on hand) "Never. Do. That. Joke. Agaiiiin....." I've also noticed that if *one* person laughs at a joke, and you thank them for laughing at the joke, others will laugh at your thanking them. You can then thank *them* for laughing at *that* joke. And thus the Comedy Spiral grows...

From Swami Beyondananda, the Yogi from Muskogee: "That joke's Time Release. Tomorrow, you will laugh and you won't know why."
When one person laughs, lean on nothing inmid-air, like a mime, look at your watch and say, "I'll wait for that one to spread..." Lee Darrow, C.H.
