On April 23rd, I blogged about the repetition of jokes HERE
In my blog, I said many jokes told/blogged on Matchdoctor get repeated about every two weeks. Well, at the time, I was right. Things have changed.. so, I'm now wrong.

I want to amend my previous assessment and re-assess the situation.... because jokes are being repeated at a greater frequency now. It seems that the same jokes are coming back within a week of someone else telling it.

PEOPLE...HEAR MY PLEA... FIND SOME NEW MATERIAL. 'cause these jokes are like eating hotdogs and sauerkraut. They keep repeating and repeating and repeating. I like good jokes as much as the next guy... just not the same joke every week.

I suggest a solution to the problem... DO A SEARCH on the TAG 'JOKE' and see if your joke has recently been used.

There is a new feature (I just noticed it tonight) that allows you to search the blogs for specific keywords. It's in the top right of the blog page.

Is that cool or what? (no response necessary... )

Anyway... a secret to being a good comedian. Be original, be spontaneous, deliver the right joke at the right time.
