> Here's a really bad joke that might qualify for Rinkworks if it isn't already listed.

That's one of my favourite jokes, although I reckon it works much better when told properly than when written down.

...I suppose I'd better tell a joke to keep the thread going. I used to tell lots of jokes, but this is the only one I've told recently:

---

In a time and in a country that aren't directly relevant to this story, there is a Jewish family that has no home to live in. One day, they hear that the government is offering subsidised housing to homeless families, so Mr Goldstein goes to apply for a house for his family.
He presents himself at the appropriate governmental office, and while waiting for the desk clerk to finish some small task, notices a sign on the wall announcing that certain types of people are not eligible for government housing. The list of ineligibles, not much to Mr Goldstein's surprise, includes Jews. At first, his reaction is to leave, but his family needs a home, so he swallows his anger and decides that deception is the best course.
Eventually, the clerk is ready for him, and asks his name.
"David Goldstein," he says.
"Goldstein? Are you Jewish?"
"Certainly not! I'm Christian."
"You won't mind," says the clerk, "if I ask you a few questions? Only we occasionally get people pretending to be Christians to get houses they're not entitled to."
Mr Goldstein sees that he has no choice but to agree to the questions.
"First question," says the clerk. "Who is Jesus?"
"Jesus is the Son of God and the saviour of mankind," says Mr Goldstein, who has known enough Christians to have picked up the basic principles.
"Very good. Where was he born?"
Mr Goldstein has to think for a bit, but soon recalls that Jesus is said to have been born in a stable.
"Third question: Why was Jesus born in a stable?"
"So that he could grow up and become the saviour of mankind."
"Let me rephrase the question. Why, at the time of Jesus' birth, were his parents living in a stable?"
"Because," says Mr Goldstein, "his parents were Jewish and were not eligible for government housing."
