So you're heading out west...

So you're heading out west along the good ol' Oregon Trail.

Of course you make a novice mistake; you didn't pack enough wagon axles. So inevitably one of your axles breaks and you're stranded out in the middle of nowhere. You work your way through all of your food, and then all of your ammo, and eventually you and your six children are starving to death in the middle of the wilderness.

And then along comes another traveler.

Overjoyed you wave the man in his covered wagon down. He--a wiser man than you--has eleven wagon axles and shares one with you. You thank him for his kindness. Seeing that you're fresh out of ammo, he lends you some. Overjoyed you again thank him. He offers to take you out hunting to replenish your supplies and together you shoot 2,769 pounds of meat (although you can only take back 200 pounds). Now your gratitude knows no bounds.

"I want to thank you properly!" You say to him, grinning ear-to-ear, "And I never did catch your name."

He, with a laugh, tells you that it's "Terry."

"Terry?!" You can't help yourself. "Terry?! What a stupid name!" You laugh, pointing, "Why, Terry is a girl's name!"

Angry, Terry levels his hunting rifle at you and pulls the trigger.

You have died from dissin' Terry.

Hello. I am BearOfGlacia. I'm an admin on this board. I see this is your first attempt at humor. Don't be nervous. Everyone makes mistakes on their first try.

I've reviewed your joke and found a few mistakes that, unfortunately, prevent me from loling. I'll go over them one-by-one.

"Why, Terry is a girl's name!"


It's actually an androgynous name like Lee or Pat. It is equally valid for both sexes.

I'm not certain any of our regular membership are old enough to know what the term "dissin'" means. It wouldn't be such a big deal under normal circumstances but the entire joke hinges on understanding its meaning.

All in all, it's not a bad first attempt. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to reject this one and ask you to start over with a whole new concept.

So Jack finally worked up the courage to ask Jill out to the prom, and what do you know? She accepts.

Of course Jack is your normal bonehead of a guy, and he waits until the day before to get ready for the prom. Realizing that he only has a day left, he runs to his best friend Paul.

"Paul! The prom is tomorrow! What do I need to do to get ready?"

Paul considers this question. "Well, you need a tux."

So Jack runs off to the tux shop. It seems that there's a lot of other bonehead guys who also waited until the last day to get ready; there's a massive tux line. Jack waits in the tux line, and eventually gets to the front of the tux line and rents a tux.

Jack goes back to Paul: "Paul! I got the tux. What else do I need?"

"Well girls like flowers. You had better get her some flowers."

So Jack runs off to the tux shop. Like before, the shop is crowed with a long flower line. Jack waits in the flower line, and eventually gets to the front of the flower line and buys some flowers.

Jack goes back to Paul: "Paul! I got the flowers. What else do I need?"

"There's one last thing; if you really want to impress your girl you need to show up in a limo."

So Jack runs off to the limo rental. Again, the place is swamped, and the limo line is a mile long. Jack waits in the limo line, and eventually gets to the front of the limo line and rents a limo.

The night of the prom comes and sure enough the tux, flowers, and limo are a big hit with Jill. They dance and dance and about halfway through Jill turns to Jack and says "I'm thirsty. Mind getting us some punch?"

So Jack goes to the punch table and there's no punchline.

Okay, upon reviewing your second attempt I have concluded that I have no choice but to render the following judgment:

BANNED!
