[net.news.group] original jokes only please

bstempleton (12/02/82)

Let's have a newsgroup for original jokes only.

Too many people spend too much time typing jokes that they have heard
from others or read in books etc.  This is boring, because most of us
have heard them all.  How about a group for original jokes
(net.jokes.original) so that we can avoid all the crap that others put
out?

Balderdash....  I think that a joke becomes 'old' because it is a good joke.
I would rather hear an old joke than trust one that some hacker thought up...
As an example, did anybody see a Tylenol joke (all presumably original) that
they thought was funny?  Not me....
