The Jokes Thread I used to read and post to it, but now I dont even bother. Why I will not open any of the Tic Toc, or movie posts. Now I dont even bother opening the thread at all.
What do you like or dislike about the Jokes Section.

Repetition can be a bit of a short cycle.
But like any particular subject in life, things range from torturous to pleasurable, ie: I do my best to blank out the many bad aspects of wifey!

I look forward to it each day. Repetition can be a bit annoying but I accept that. But like Gundog, I prefer to avoid Tik Tok on principle.
One recommendation I have for posters .... don't post something because anything is better than nothing. Post it if YOU think it is funny.

Whether a joke is funny or not is surely an individual thing. Tik Tok is Chinese, nuff sed about that. We do not participate in any social media, that is our choice. I find the joke section is amusing most of the time, so long live the joke section.

I don't bother opening any of the links in the jokes section. If I wanted to troll the internet for jokes I would just do it myself, but I have plenty of other things to do in a day.

I still read but rarely open video links, can't find any new material and don't have the facility to cut and paste from other sources sent to me.

I do not look at the joke section. I get enough humor from listening to politicians being interviewed on the news, absolutely hilarious.

As they say.
How do you know when a politician is lying. Their lips are moving.

Please keep posting Jokes as Jokes, sometimes satire leads us into digression and heaven help those who post a joke about the current Govt, we suddenly visit Long Bay or Pentridge every Sunday.
Seldom is there a new joke, but often a better way of telling it.

I always have a look, you get the odd gem worth passing on.

I love the "Just Joking" section. More facts and less BS here than in the other sections and if the jokes recycle, no problem as most are still funny second or third time around.
I can't wait each day I open Grey Nomads Forum to get to the jokes.
All you contributors to the "Just Joking Forum", please keep up your contributions.
Cheers,
Roy.

I think I must have missed the reason behind this thread - from comments it appears that there has been another bunfight.
Not surprising if I missed something in the jokes thread as I only have a look now & again. Perhaps 5% of those I see raise a smile. 1% an actual laugh.
'Jokes' which are humour at the expense of others, or are 'dogwhistling' are a waste of my time & when I do see them I just wish the poster were able to show better judgement.
Looking to see who posted is a fairly good guide to the above, & thus who's jokes to pass by without opening them.
I suspect that it's easier to get away with many of the 'isms when one can repost others' jibes in the form of jokes & memes.
Some of the 'smut' has smile value, but most is childish, offensive &/or thoughtless. I confess to smiling at 'Defense Attorney; posted by Aussie Paul
I also don't open unknown attachments or videos. At the very least I'd want the poster to tell me what & where the link is to, before I would consider checking it out.
On the rare occasion someone posts a goody which tickles my fancy I read it to my wife so we can both have a good laugh.
Most recently another posted by AussiePaul - Dad n Dave - simple, snappy, witty & funny. We both groaned & laughed.

Like a few already, I do not open links to "whatever land" sources of humour, but do enjoy reading jokes I have selected and suits my idea of humour - free world, free choice it IS after all on a forum, which means ALL sorts of stuff will present and its an individual choice to read or dump.

A smile, groan or belly laugh, even a recycled joke can be good. During form (roll call) I had a bunch of teacher/dad jokes that Id read to my students (year 9, 10 and 11 combined), Id get the groans and roll eyes, but when I didnt have any, thered be complaints. Always great to start the day with a laugh. I felt it set the students into their first class a bit more relaxed. Some of these kids had horrific home life.

I always look at the Joke section first, always good to start with a smile.
Noticed a few comments on the tik tok/links which some won't open.
Probably mostly from me, which I must say I have never seen a tik tok video before my Daughter in law started emailing them to us.
Most are harmless, but you get the occasional funny, which I like to share.
I also like to copy some of the good ones to pass on so everyone gets a smile, old or new ones alike.
Cheers Bob

I like the joke section
I know of other travellers, who are not on this forum, who also look at our joke section
I did read somewhere, many years ago, that laughter is the best medicine
I think that a lot of people do not click on links, due to lack of bandwidth, or because of potential bugs

Supposedly the world's oldest recorded joke.
Personally I think it is a sensible technically.
I will leave it for other to decide whether it it is a joke or wisdom!
