Mekong Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 "Watch and you'll see," says one of the Scotsmen. When they board the train the three Scots cram into a toilet and the three Scots cram into another one nearby. Always proof read your punchline ... its what makes a joke work!
teddy Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 That's not the punchline, just part of the joke, the punchline is "ticket please"
The_Munchmaster Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Quite right Teddy, you can't have the punchline before the end of the joke. What the feck is Mekong on about (apart from the obvious mistake in that particular line of the joke)?
Torneyboy Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 How do you disperse an angry Scottish mob? Nae bother - just take up a collection.
Mekong Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 OK lets put it in simple English Tickets Please as a stand alone punchline is not funny but The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Scots leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Englishmen are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please." could be considered funny. But since there were Scots in each restroom where did one of the Scots go to knock on the Door of the Englismens restroom, they were not even on the Train!

The 'Punchline' is the part of the joke where one laughs. If you started laughing before you got to "ticket, please", you must have a strange sense of humour.
Mekong Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Line 5 was Outbound Journey, I see that The alledged joke is about the return journey

If you started laughing before you got to "ticket, please", you must have a strange sense of humour. I did not Laugh due to the poor delivery of the (non) joke Now if you Laughed it must be your sense of humour that is in question, or maybe ones lack of ability to comprehend the written word in front of you.
