dying art of joke telling

most people I have come across in the last 5 years have little idea of a joke and some cannot even understand it - let alone tolerate its many dimensions...ethnic, disabled, poor, even blonde! Says a lot, that when they are drunk- they are happiest! The guard is down!

= "I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said, 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'" Tim Vine

Have you ever heard of Ron James? He's a little comedian from Newfoundland, he just doesn't get up and tell jokes, hes got dialogues and stories going. That man is so funny.
