Tasks / Joke-A-Thon
Spend one day telling jokes to people all day. Not over the internet, but in person (using the phone counts). You must tell at least 10 different jokes over the course of your day, and you may only tell one joke per person you encounter. As they say, the more, the merrier.
Document your exploits well.

I heard this on the bus today "what do you get when you cross a hooker with a leprechaun?"
What's brown and green, and if it falls on you out of a tree, it'll kill you?
A pool table.
Grass. I lied about the wheels.
I learned that one from hiab
If you're short of jokes, I know a few.
- Two construction workers are sitting atop their building-in-progress. One opens his lunchbox and finds a peanut butter sandwich. He throws it over the side and yells "If I get Peanut Butter sandwiches in my lunch one more time, I'm gonna jump!" The other pauses briefly and says "Why don't you just ask your wife to stop making them?" The first man flies into a rage and screams "You leave my wife out of this, I pack my own lunch!"
- A motorcyclist is driving along one day when he sees a Catholic priest, a rabbi, and a shaman on the side of the road. Next to them is a sign that reads "Turn Around- The End Is Near". The biker isn't much for religion, so he flips the trio off and keeps driving. Soon afterwards, there is a screech of tires and a splash. The shaman turns to the rabbi and says "I told you we should have just written 'Bridge Out'".
- A man is walking along the beach one day when he comes across a lamp. Out of plain curiosity, he rubs the lamp and sure enough, a genie emerges. "Thank you for freeing me from my prison, good sir!", bellows the genie. "As a reward, I will grant you one wish". The man pauses briefly and then says "Well, as it happens, I'm not from the mainland, I'm from Hawaii. I still have a lot of family back there, but I don't have enough money for the airfare to get there too often. I really miss them, so if you could maybe build a bridge from the mainland to Hawaii, that would really make me very happy". The genie scoffs and says "Are you nuts? Do you know how much that would cost? I need to get the materials, not to mention the workers organized, I need to negotiate reasonable salaries, and where am I going to get that many people anyways? I'm just a genie, not the Almighty, alright? Try again". The man thinks about it again, then says "Well, I'm also fairly unlucky at love, I just don't seem to be able to understand women. If you could maybe give me some insight into the female mind, I'd be really grateful". The genie pauses for a long while. Finally, he slowly and reluctantly says "Two lanes or four?"
I got more.

Ten? Really? Spend a day telling jokes and tell at least ten? I've been telling jokes to strangers since I was a child. When I was a young teenager I would go up to strangers and tell them "I'll tell you a joke for a quarter." and th...
This task is way harder than it seems. Well, documenting this task is way harder than it seems. I hope that, even if you don't share my sense of humor, that you at least find merit in my method. Timing an ephemeral meeting with some one to tell them...
This is lame.
