    Default On a serious note

    How many forumites take an interest in the jokes submitted?

    A breakdown of the last 28 jokes reveals that they averaged
    only 3 responses each.

    Deduct three of those which attracted 15, 10 and 8 responses
    and the average drops to 2 on each.

    When you consider that 7 of the 28 received no response at
    all I would think that some contributors we be disappointed.

    Ok, I know, some forumites will jump on me and claim that
    the jokes are just not funny enough, so let's get some action
    from them and put a smile on a few faces.

    What do you think !

    While I enjoy most of the jokes, I see no reason to reply to them. They're jokes, not political manifestos.

    Yup, you should be paying more attention to the views rather than the replies.

    Yes Cliff and Nick, I do look at the number of views and that
    is food for thought. Surely if we see a joke has had 300 odd
    views and only one person has seen fit to show their appreciation
    the contributor would feel a bit miffed...providing it was funny.

    Sure not every joke is an original and just about every one is
    a regurtitated version of one we heard last week, month or
    year or so ago. New jokes don't just grow on trees for woodies.

    Ray, joking about my age. By the time you get to my age you
    will have forgotten all the good jokes and be recycling too.

    By the way, good to see you are all reading this section in
    between woodworking/woodturning and other pursuits.

    You'd be beside yourself trying to wheel one handed.... again & again & again.
