	The Funniest Joke in the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Funniest Joke in the World is the most frequent title used to refer to a Monty Python's Flying Circus comedy sketch, also known by two other phrases that appear within it, "joke warfare" and "killer joke".
		The sketch is set during World War II, when one Ernest Scribbler, a struggling British writer, creates the funniest joke in the world and then dies laughing.
		The joke is finally put to rest when "peace broke out." It is buried, and left under a monument bearing the inscription "To the Unknown Joke" (as compared with the British Unknown Warrior or the Unknown Soldier).

		And when it was announced as the winner it was published widely, which would have been impossible had the joke been dirty or contained, to quote SBS, "adult themes".
		I think there is still a perception that dirty jokes aren't as funny; that they are somehow invalid.

		I searched that entertaining phrase because my buddy Billy (who intensely dislikes blogging and wrote a funny and ironic blog about it here) was testing out the new IM/Chat function in Gmail and I thought: "there is no better way to entertain Billy, than the funniest joke ever".
		The interesting thing about this joke is it's not very complicated, very quick to say, easy to remember, witty and is one of those jokes that not everyone get's (which I enjoy).
