The last joke I heard which as juvenile as it may sound actually managed to make me laugh...
A policewoman walks up to a troublemaking drunk man in the street,
Policewoman says "You are under arrest sir! You have the right to remain silent, anything you do or say may be held up against you!"
Drunk man "...mmm boobs!"
It has become increasingly difficult to make people laugh, especially using the conventional joke method, and more apparently a joke which contains no sexual connotations. Our exposure to whatever is taboo is inevitable in this day and age. Therefore, we have become accustomed to being fed the most extreme sorts of information that in turn have lessoned any concept we once held about mysteriousness and its benefits...
The media; significant in its influences, butchers any effort of keeping certain aspects of life untouched. They desperately compete to report new subject matters and uncover veiled, unexpected and even grotesque stories consequently familiarizing society with anything and everything. And with that we have become less impressed by light humor, unimpressed with clowns, merely bemused by the modern day sitcom with its simple delivery of jokes, and more obsessed with reality television and its magnifying real life humiliations.
Our humor has become evidently harder to tickle then ever and continues to do so as life continues to be filled with misery and grief with each passing day. Seemingly sarcasm or irony have replaced comedy and comical characters in providing us with amusement and exercising our 'humor hormones'.
What was that last 'joke' you heard which actually made you laugh out loud or chuckle or even snigger slightly? Do you think 'jokes' have become a cheesy way of making people laugh, or are they still as effective as they were in previous decades? Do you think that a 'joke' can only work if it has an element of discrimination e.g. sexism, racism...? Is there a joke you always tell which never fails on you? Is there a joke which always manages to break a smile on your face whilst for instance you walk alone through the street looking like a lunatic who's consumed too many prozac pills? Or does an embarrassing situation such as a fart do more to get you laughing? Is having a sense of humor even important or is it overrated?

LOOOL nice joke samantha..
I think sense of humor is a needful thing in life but can sometimes be overrated if people who believe they have it and use it in a wrong way(over limits).They think they r funny but they are actually not!
I think that laughing makes your life longer..Believe me if it wasnt for laughing many people would have died from depression!
As for me what makes me laugh most is hearing a joke rather than being in an embarassed situation.I have many jokes but there is just one problem that always faces me when i get to mention one..its that i always forget them and after a while when the person leaves i remember all of them suddenly lool i really hate it when that happens!
There is this quote i really liked and would like to share it with u all:
''What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul''
So carry laughter wherever u go and smile whenever can coz it takes just a smile to make a dark day seem bright! :)
A man goes into a drug store and asks the pharmacist if he can give him something for the hiccups.
The pharmacist promptly reaches out and slaps the man's face.
"What the heck did you do that for!?!" the man screams.
"Well, you don't have the hiccups anymore do you?"
The man says, "No I don't, you IDIOT...
But my wife out in the car still does!"

Two strangers, a man and a woman, are sitting next to each other on a trans-Atlantic flight.
Suddenly, the plane plummets out of control. In panic, the woman turns to the man, tears off her blouse and cries,
"Make me feel like a woman one more time!"
Rising to the occasion, the man tears off his shirt and says "Here, iron this."
Any blondes...look away now!
1) Two blonde's walking in the desert find a glass wall - one says to the other "Shall we climb over and see what's on the other side."
2) Two blondes had just came back from shopping.
The first blond asked: "What did you buy?"
Second blond replyed: "Chickens"
The first blond says: "If I can guess how many you bought can I have one?"
Second Blond: "OK. But, tell you what, you can have both if you guess right"
So the first blond guesses: "Have you got three?"
3) There is a blonde, brunette, and a red head. They all have to swim breast-stroke across the English Channel. They all start at the same time, the brunette comes first and makes a new world record! Then the red head comes an hour later, she does an ok time. Then the blonde finishes some 6 hours later.
A man asks "If you are so slow, then why did you enter the race?"
The blonde replys "Well I didn't want to say anything, but they were all using thier hands!"
4) There was a blonde that went to the hair salon with headphones. Before the barber started cutting her hair she told him "Make sure not to knock the headphones off my head". So the barber was sure not to. The next time, the blonde said the same thing "Do not knock the headphones off my head". The barber again, did what he was told. The third time she went, she told the barber again "Don't knock the headphones off my head", this time though, the barber accidentally knocked them off. As soon as the headphones fell off, the blonde dropped to the floor unconcious. The barber picked up the headphones and listened. He heard a looped recording which said: "Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...."
Last one 4 today:
In a hospital one day are two little boys lying on stretchers, waiting to be taken to the operating theatre.
The first boy says to the second "What are you in for?"
He replies "I'm having my tonsils out"
"Oh that's not too bad" reassures the first "they just put you to sleep, then when you wake up they give you lots of jelly and ice-cream!"
The second little boy then asks the first what he's in for. To which he replies "A circumcision."
The second boy says "I had that when I was born, I couldn't walk for a year!"
