    The joke revolves around the idea that she has already told the policemen how many apples there are and they still can't guess the number. Nor can her father, which makes it twice as hilarious.

    This joke might have worked better in whatever the original language was, but it falls rather flat in English.

    Indeed. From the wording, the only thing I could gather was that there was six or more...

    I apologise. I missed the important article (the), which now seeing that, makes the joke sense.

    It's probably a good idea to leave the jokes for a while. They aren't really working and people might get the idea you're trying for an easy 200 posts.

    I have nothing against you personally , but here's the thing: implicit in telling a joke is that it should be funny, at least in some respects. The external manifestations of this are a grin, a chuckle, a snort, a laugh or a gaffaw. When a joke is not funny, one tends to groan, roll one's eyes, shake their head, say 'WTF does that mean' or something similar.

    I can't impress this upon you enough: the juice had to be worth the squeeze. Why post if there is such a low probability that the expected or intended result almost never happens? It's like going to a vintage car forum, and someone writes, "Show us your vintage gems," and you post this:

    Nobody wants to see it. After too many times of mostly variations on the same theme, people start to get annoyed. So please, run your jokes past the fellows at the local pub. If you don't get asked to leave, post it here.
