"What do you call an Elephant in a Postbox?"
"Stuck."
Coincidently, this was the first joke we ever had put on the back of our shirts and is the one that started this fun headache of trying to run a business! The simplicity and punchiness of this blunt masterpiece is like Morgan Freeman reading Mr Men - simple and odd yet somehow is good crack. Now, time for the rating:
- Stomach soreness - 1/5 - A slight tickle but not enough to make you pause whilst tucking into the Digestives.
- Pun factor - 0/5 - No pun to be pardoned
- Bluntness - 5/5 - It's blunt.
- Satire level - 2.5/5 - Depending on whether you call heads or tails at a coin-toss, this one is a satirical masterpiece or a crime against the Oxford English dictionary.
- Length of chuckle post reading - 3/5 - Not a laugh yourself into hysteria but a well managed chuckle post reading
- Volume of chuckle post reading - 1/5 - Really a 'phfuf' sound as supposed to a laugh
- 'Oh dear' - 4/5 - A classic dad joke this one, although still room for improvement
- Still chuckling after reading the joke for the 10th time - 3/5 - This one seems to have very marmite-like effects on people - some are like a parrot that has only learn't to laugh and other's are like a hungry cow - deadpan with only grass on their mind.
- Speed at which the joke is repeated to the next available person - 3/5 - Again, this joke seems to peel peoples potatoes in different ways, although its a quick and easy one to use on the postman.
- How quickly the joke is memorised - 5/5 - Short, sharp and with no secret to delivery, this one is like a cabinet office memo, tidied up and put on Tinder.
Mean score: 2.75/5 - You've just started a new job and want to show your young boss who wears jeans and trainers that you've got wit.
