/.../Ever the classifier and explainer, writer Isaac Asimov once divided jokes into less than a dozen broad categories: (1) anticlimax; (2) shaggy dog; (3) paradox; (4) put-down; (5) word play; (6) tables turned; (7) Jewish; (8) other ethnic; (9) religion; (10) marriage; (11) bawdy, including limericks. Three of your scribe’s favorite jokes did not score in the Wiseman survey. They all fall within Isaac Asimov's first category, anticlimax jokes:

*A woman carrying a baby gets on a bus. As she pays the fare, the bus driver looks at the baby and says, "Ugh! Lady, that's absolutely the ugliest baby I've ever seen." The woman is fuming. Still carrying the baby, she walks back toward the rear of the bus, finds an empty seat and sits down. She says to a man sitting next to her, "The bus driver was terribly rude to me when I got on. I've never been so insulted in all my life! I've got half a mind to tell him off." The man says, "And that's what you should do. Don't let him get away with insulting you. Walk right up there and let him know how you feel. Go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."/.../
