Jokes and Gags

[Cornish-guy]

Folks does anyone have and ideas on how possible it is to sell jokes/gags either to a comedian or in a book format?

Internet search of the comedians who you think would like the style, find their website, their management details should be there somewhere, contaqct them but don't send any material unsolicited.

I swollowed our Dog Whistle while out walking and got a fit of Burping - When I got home a Line of Dogs had Followed Me.

A guy meets a 'Lady of horizontal refreshment' in a bar.
She purrs at him - "This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for £100, as long as you can say it in only three words."
The guy thinks for a few seconds, "Hey, why not!", so he pulls his wallet out of his pocket and lays £100 on the bar, and says slowly . . . . .
"Paint . . . . my . . . . house"

People used to laugh at me when I would say "Im going to be a comedian", well, nobody's laughing now!

Do you do stand up then? im a self taught(not that hard) gagsmith

Is it just me being old fashioned but aren't jokes supposed to be funny, or am I missing something here?

[Amp]

Agree with Beefsteak.
Dog whistle was obvious, skirting truth and bins are too obscure. 1 eyed pirate not new.
Perhaps try an alternate career?

[Mike]

Well, I must admit that I've certainly not split my sides laughing at any of them.

Perhaps it's the way you tell them, Cornish?

[Cornish-guy]

I should have said - Crap Gags in the style of Tim Vine - not political or rasist or rude jokes - dont do swearing either, so guess that doesn't leave much does it

C.

err...no

[Cornish-guy]

Well - Its better making stuff up rather than repeating the same old rubbish thats goes round and round that everyone knows - like Knock knock jokes
Sometimes a gag can be a play of words that link two similar situations or reverse a situations - or even just a slight of words - Like - "I had to get a ladder to get our frying pan as It was kept In the Pan Tree"

This is meant in the nicest possible way:

If you have a day job, don't give it up - if you don't then I'm not sure that comedy is the right path.
