Nancy Bell, an applied linguist at Washington State University, her assistants watched 186 people as they were told this joke by strangers, friends or family. They found that many people didn’t hold back in expressing their displeasure at the lame humor, responding with phrases ranging from the mild, “That’s not funny,” all the way to downright offensive and profane retorts. And the worst offenders were close friends and relatives of the bad-joke teller.
