    Strange thread. Why is the OP taunting the OF staff?

    OP, now if you could only type in English, we would all be better for it. Your sentences are very disjointed and don’t make any sense whatsoever.

    I thought you will confess that you feel very guilty each time you post Consul, Prim or Shanghai watches up for sale and yet post them up anyway....

    I am sorry your highness for being poor and can't afford expensive watches to sell...

    Well I guess I should confess also.
    I drive a 6 year old Camry and my beer of choice is Budweiser. :whipped:

    1997 V-6. Nothing more gratifying than driving a $2,000 car with a $20,000 watch on.

    Edit: well, there are some things, but she isn't willing...

    That may explain your phrasing.

    However, I think it is a relatively universal concept that jokes have a punchline. [Reference: "Tell Me a Joke" thread.]

    Methinks we are being "Kaufmanned". Concept humor doesn't translate well online. Online it comes off as trolling. As his foreign man character (later Latka on Taxi) would say: "Thank you very much."

    Just do the Elvis impersonation, or we'll have a telephone vote to get you kicked off the board.

    The real joke behind this is that there is never anyone at confession, so basically the first 4 don't apply :whistling:

    I’m curious how someone can be a gold digger on a forum

    I'm guessing wayward, less- than-scrupulous females scour the forum for guys that post a disproportionate amount of gold watch pictures, then they send them PMs professing undying love and affection, and arrange a meet-up. I would fall for that in a second...

    Oh no, The father just
    My Russian-descent wife has provided me with hundreds of examples over the last few years that prove that is not the case. The Russian jokes do not normally have punchlines. Drives me nuts when she insists on telling them to me and I sit there for a minute and have to say "Okay, now out with the punch line!" ::facepalm2::

    [Rhetorically] Then, do they technically qualify as jokes?

    Are they at least mildly humorous? The OP's "jokes" typically end with a frustratingly confusing non sequitur.

    I don't mind the OP's attempts. At some point, I am sure he may write something that elicits a response other than a groan.

    No, typically not mildly humorous (at least not to me). Very much like OP's "jokes". They seem to end in a mental picture of something in life that is slightly ironic, or more often (to an outsider, at least) slightly sad.

    So, Chekhov wrote long Russian jokes?

    EDIT: Actually, the more I think about it, there’s a whole branch of revered Russian literature that is well described as intended to be just slightly ironic and slightly sad.

    So, Zach Galifianakis' stand-up is kinda the US version of Chekhov?
