must be in the telling..
3
5
-- answer removed --
3 & 5
7

I shall be stealing it and passing it off as my own.
5 - would work for cricket and visiting facebook, as well.
I saw that, that was considered the best joke of the fringe. I thought, "Thank God for the warning before I bought my ticket".

2 and 5 were okish, but if I were judge, I'd have filtered out the lot of 'em.
How about this one, under Daniel Craig's photo ;-)

I think 3 is nonsense. Time doesn't proceed a day at a time, it proceeds unceasingly, so people are deliberately being more specific by stating what unit they're currently basing their lives on. Mr Buress seems to be under the misapprehension that nobody knows this and he has to point it out.

Sorry if my analysis spoils the joke, but it was past spoiling anyway.

I thought 2 was the best, but he won last year.
9, 3 and 2
1 wasn't funny when it was doing the rounds on various emails as a blonde joke years ago
lol jno, remind me never to take you to jongleurs!
Heard 1,5 & 8 many years ago although in slightly different forms

Also Paul Daniels wooden spoon joke - the worst one is a re-hash of a TV joke from a couple of months ago

"I said to a fella 'Is there a B&Q in Henley?' He said 'No, there's an H, an E, an N an L and a Y'."

Original
"I said to a fella 'Is there a B&Q in Eastbourne?'
He said 'No'
Then after a few seconds he said 'But there is 2 'E's'."

Totally unrelated, but did you see ESPN on Monday talking about Joey Barton. Amusing gaffe.... ((A bit rude!!)

6 & 9 made me smile.
Check out the jokes on this site (under phrases & sayings) – they are a lot better than this year’s offerings in Edinburgh (OK, mine excluded).
