Some memes are very funny, but I'm a bit nostalgic for the days people used to make up their own jokes.

Although maybe they never did and just repeated what they'd heard at the music hall. But I'd like to think otherwise.

@M - I don't make up jokes much these day - it's a young man's game - I used to write comedy sketches for revues when I was an undergraduate and new doctor; although these were also mostly plagiarized and adapted.

But I still have an occasional urge for humour - which some people always take literally; because part of the joke is that it not be labelled as such

I made this joke up yesterday. What do you call someone delivering a lecture on Freud and Jung in a dreadful fake Cockney accent? Dick Van Psych.

This is the general quality of my jokes.

@M - Well, at least you have a blog to get them off your chest.
