You Must Be Joking

How many times can you tell the same joke before it starts getting old to you? I suppose if it’s a really good joke you might be able to tell it two or three times before it gets moldy and you move on to a different joke. But what if the joke is already stale? Does that just make it more fun to tell? Every single time someone new walks into the office I hear, “Hey, did you hear about the three guys that went to the doctor?” I’ve probably heard it at least 10 times.

And now that I’ve told you about it, you just have to hear the joke don’t you? Well here it is. You tell me how many times you could manage hearing it.

So three guys go to the doctor. The doctor asks, “What’s 3×3?” The first guy answers 362. The second guy says, “Tuesday.” Then the doctor asks the third guy, “Okay your turn. What’s 3×3?” The guy says, “That’s easy, it’s 9.” Doctor says, “That’s right, how did you come up with that answer?” Guy says, “Simple, just subtract Tuesday from 362.”
