Is this funny?

Post by Sudanese Sensation »

I go to another board and there's a poster named sledge who nobody likes. Somebody made this post about him:

"a long time ago, sledges dad and mom were desperate for money, that the mom was sent out one evening to "sell herself".. She came home 6 hours later, with $300.25. Sledges father was very upset and asked her "who gave you the 25 cents????" She replied "everyone!!!"

No. Too telegraphed. A joke is only good when you don't see it coming.

Sledge is some knucklehead at Ira Winderman's blog.

I didn't see it being telegraphed.

But I am noted to be a poor judge of comedy.

Maybe he meant it seemed routine,like a line the late and great Rodney Dangerfield would deliver, but when you think about the heart of the joke it's actually very funny.

I would have laughed when I was 12 or so. Now, not so much.

Hawks might have a point that it's puerile...

But at twenty five cents a pop that woman had to turn 1,201 tricks...

You'll probably like this one too.

Your mom is like a doorknob, everyone gets a turn.

You don't know simple math. So I'm not surprised.

I don't think you get it either, otherwise you would have explained it directly instead of being glib.

Same thing with Hawks

She was offering sexual favors for twenty five cents. You can get an abacus or more fingers.

For all of your wisecracking, you can't seem to think very clearly.

If your interpretation was correct, she would have done 1,201 tricks.

Spread out over 360 minutes, that works out to 3.34 tricks per minute or roughly a trick every 18 seconds.

That is a ridiculous scenario. You have to do all of this in 18 seconds...

1. Find a NEW guy
2. Approach
3. Discuss the exchange
4. Do the trick
5. Take the quarter

Non-stop and continuously for 6 hours.

So no, you are wrong and that interpretation is flawed.

I believe the sequence you described is wrong. In such exchanges the money precedes the act. It avoids buyer's remorse.
