(This is about the "funnyest thing I've heard...)

And whose definition of funny do you use ???
After all, one persons laugh is anothers tragidy.

Websters definition is -

joke
	1. a: something done or said to provoke laughter; esp : a brief
		oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist
	   b(1): the humorous or rediculous element in something
	    (2): an instance of jesting
	   c: practical joke
	   d: laughingstock
	2. a: something not to be taken seriously : a trifling matter
	   b: something presenting no difficulty

	- Websters New Collegiate Dictionary (1981).

I think that the majority of the stuff "I" see in net.jokes
fall under one of the above definitions (if not the person
submitting them does...).
