A “study”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6897023.stm by Washington University at St. Louis showed that old people find it difficult to “get” what’s funny. The study had undergrads and AARP-ers attempt to complete jokes and cartoon strips by picking the correct punchline from a group of options. From BBC News Online:
One such joke in the test was: “A businessman is riding the subway after a hard day at the office. A young man sits down next to him and says, ‘Call me a doctor, call me a doctor’. The businessman asks, ‘What’s the matter, are you sick?’.
The participants were expected to correctly identify the punch line as: “The young man says, ‘I just graduated from medical school’.”
Huh. Judging from the jokes my parents email me nonstop, I always thought this kind of humor was _only_ understood by old people.
yeah, thats really not funny at all. calling it a joke is really a stretch.
A whole new generation of old comedians (who can’t tell a joke to completion) now have Alheimzer’s to thank for their late-blooming comedy careers! Thank you degenerative brain diseases!
They can’t find the punchline, because there isn’t one! This joke sucks. When my Grandfather (a retired doctor) told my non-Jewish boyfriend that he’ll circumsize him for free–I realized that even though he’s 86, his humor game is STILL ON.
cool – but, how do you eat this?

I’m surprised people haven’t taken umbrage at this article as well.
Umbrage…that’s not a word you hear often these days.
Umbbbbrrraaaggeee.
Too divine! How I’d like to serve my late mother a slice. A shikse, she drove a stake through the heart of our relationship with these immortal words: “The Jews made too much of a fuss over the Holocaust.”

Not fucking cool. My grandparents were forced to eat a cake just like this in the old country and choked on the glass.
It was a cheesecake but still!
Delicious. I’d like to have this with some Jew cookies!
The glass is so badass!
It’s an awesome concept! Even though German chocolate cake has nothing to do with Germany to begin with….it was invented by a guy from Texas with the last name “German.”
Let’s make him eat a slice of this one!
Geez that’s unbelievable.

German Chocolate cake is not actually German. It was originally made with Baker’s German Chocolate, an American product, hence the name.
It used to be my favourite, but these days, “Oy the heartburn!”
Is it safe for me after eat those glasses? Please take it away from my sweet cake………
