Origin of jokes

StevieNicksFan

Stupid question alert!

How do jokes originate? Is there some joke fiend sitting at a table spending their time throwing out paddy jokes yet everyone else claims the credit? Obviously jokes evolve and change over time, but we all know the classic why did the chicken yady yada, but how do these come about?who came up with this and other funny/ not so funny one liners?

I am fully prepared for yor ma and other such retorts

I know a lad in Cavan who makes up loads of Cavan jokes.
They are a very witty bunch the Cavan lads.

He told me once that his neighbour's home was burgled. When the man went to report it to the Garda he told them that his t.v., dvd and his wife's jewellery was stolen but what annoyed him most was that his wife had made a big pot of stew and one of the burglars crapped into it. He said she had to throw the half of it out.

Doesn't everyone make jokes all the time? They just happen.. and if they're funny.. then they get passed on and stick...

A lot of jokes actually originate on the trading floors of the big banks. Essentially its traders who may never ever see the person they're talking to on the phone having banter. Humour, particularly dark humour often arises in highly stressful situations.

OP it's all about the timing when introducing new types of jokes.

Such as AIDS
