Blog 5-Shaggy Dog Stories

Personal Rankings: 1: Being the funniest 2: Semi Funny 3: Being the least

Story #1: I thought the punch line was funny but as we discussed in class with the story about the chess players when the punch line is trying to saying their is no place like home for the holidays we associate this saying with christmas and clearly this story has nothing to do with the holidays.

Rating: 2

Story #2: I thought this story was the funniest being someone who constantly watched Disney growing up I was able to associate that line with Mary Poppin's. However, someone who didn't watched these movies wouldn't understand the punch line.

Rating: 1

Story #3: This story had more detail than the other stories. In provides the information needed to understand the story. However, I thought it was funny but yet it was stereotyping lawyers. Not every lawyer would agree with this statement or "punch line".

Rating: 3

When we look at the class discussion and what the majority of the class thought was funny I would say many people would say the second story is the funniest. Most females in my opinion, (sorry Josh and Kevin if you understood this) would understand the Disney reference and find it to be amusing.
