British scientists claim <a href="http://archives.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/10/03/joke.funniest/ ">this joke about hunters</a> is the funniest non-offensive joke, but it's arguably making fun of hunters. So what's the funniest joke that's completely pure and innocent? It doesn't <i>necessarily</i> have to be non-offensive - just not offensive towards any specific person or group of people.<br> <br> Jokes that have a protagonist doing stupid things are excluded. Sex jokes generally exclude themselves, not for being offensive in a prude-baiting way, but because they tend to tacitly make fun of men or women. Most others are excluded along similar lines. So no Englishmen, Irishmen and Scotsmen, no Poles, no blondes, no lawyers, no politicians, and no Brazillions!
