Those taglines are dumb, but they're a verbalisation of the old vaudeville / musichall tradition of the percussionist making a drumroll+rimshot after the comic cracks a joke (and therefore a cue, for the audience, to laugh).

People like to be told when to laugh.

Not everybody.

Shawnee -that extra line has been added by someone other than the original author, therefore SN's post was not complete until fixed by me....

Shawnee123 · 05-10-2010, 12:50 PM

Ahhh, yeah...that makes sense.

Not only do I not want to be told when to laugh, apparently I'm completely oblivious to the cues. No wonder I get funny looks at funerals and murder trials.

monster · 05-10-2010, 01:04 PM

The funeral-goers and victim's families were not amused.

Better?

squirell nutkin · 05-10-2010, 02:20 PM

Now I get it.
He said, getting it.

And then I laughed.

Shawnee123 · 05-10-2010, 02:43 PM

And then the laughing smilie let us know, one and all, that it's OK to laugh. Laugh my children, laugh!

THE BEST DRUNK STORY OF THE MONTH

A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over,looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and says:

'I went by your grandma's house today and

I saw her in the hallway buck-naked.

Man, she is one fine looking woman!'

The biker looks at him and doesn't say a word.

His buddies are confused, because he is one bad biker and would fight at the drop of a hat.

The drunk leans on the table again and says:

'I got it on with your grandma and she is good,

the best I ever had!'

The biker's buddies are starting to get really mad

but the biker still says nothing.

The drunk leans on the table one more time and says,

'I'll tell you something else, boy,

your grandma liked it!'

At this point the biker stands up,

takes the drunk by the shoulders

looks him square in the eyes and says....................

'Grandpa;.......... Go home!

You forgot the puchline: Grandpa looked chagrined and did so.
