That's a great one, zez.

Those are some really good ones, Zez!

I think what makes this one stand out is that the ending is given away before you get that far.
So, what's the moral of the joke? Haven't thought of one really.

Don't comment about a missing star when you ARE a star? I'm not really sure either

Wow, you read my mind, 110%.

I do that.

It's funny knowing what's gonna happen before it happens.

Theres 3 kinds of people in this world. Those who can count, and those who cant.

@KanrakusPizza: 110percentful already made that joke in the first post...just so you know.

Urg, why did you have to post that, I was waiting to strike with that one.
And why use a paraphrased version of the joke?

So, there's a man crawling through the desert.

He'd decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country travel, had great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand, got lost, hit a big rock, and then he couldn't get it started again. There were no cell phone towers anywhere near, so his cell phone was useless. He had no family, his parents had died a few years before in an auto accident, and his few friends had no idea he was out here.

I wonder if other people found my comic joke funny as well?

Oh my gosh. That has got to be the longest set-up I have ever heard.

i liked it, Starboy. it was a bit predictable. try making the ending something you wouldn't expect. like my Nate the snake joke. who would expect the ending ("moral") to be so simple?

Firstly, you are confusing paragraphs with paraphrasing. I'm not suggesting he shorten, or re-write the joke, just that he break the main block of text up, so people might actually bother to read it.

Secondly, the text would not be any shorter, nor take any less time to read if it were divided up into paragraphs, so the 'hilarious' punchline would not suffer.

So yeah... you didn't really have much to 'strike with'.

I was referring to the fact that he posted an incredibly simplified version of the story/joke.
His was no more than 1 page long, while the original joke is a staggering 23 pages long (and contains paragraphs).

Okay guys, here's the first 25 of the 100 funniest one-liners!

Choose your fav!

1. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
2. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
3. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
4. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on the list.
5. Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. “Yes” is the answer.
6. Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake a whole relationship.
7. We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police.
8. Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don’t have a good partner, you’d better have a good hand.
9. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
10. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
11. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
12. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
13. If I agreed with you we’d both be wrong.
14. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
15. Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
16. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
17. If sex is a pain in the @$$, then you’re doing it wrong…
18. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
19. Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good evening’, and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.
20. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station..
21. My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-b****.
22. I didn’t fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.
23. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of payments.
24. I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.
25. If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

Ah right.

Then that is what he should have done!

It would have been even funnier (hard to imagine, I know), and peeps might have bothered to read it.

To be honest, I can't make out what any of the text says. Too 'squiggly'.

Thanks, bro. Yeah, I agree, it was predictable.
Next time I make a comic joke I'll try to make it less predictable (if possible).
