If you asked someone what they did for a living and they told you,

"I'm a doctor on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and all the other days I work at Post Office.

How many people would laugh at that response?

I would probably laugh because it would be stupid for someone to be a doctor and have second job. Doctors make good money.
Why in the world would they need another job working in a post office?

Exactly, some of my co-workers don't see the humor in tha response. I was laughing so hard.

Probably not, although a really good delivery could make me smile.

The problem is that the piece that's supposed to be funny, about having a highly skilled job several days a week and a blue collar job the other days, is a little too simple and right on the surface to really strike my funny bone.

I wouldn't care... People have jobs, even 2. Someone with 2 jobs isn't funny to me. And Solomon, everyone has different senses of humor....

Montana Ponine · 05-31-2003, 10:47 PM

I wouldn't know whether or not to laugh. I mean, it could easily but a joke but...what if it wasn't? I mean, if he WAS serious, I'd be afraid to hurt his feelings. Lol.

I know everyone has a different sense of humor which is i posted the joke, It was something i heard on a show. So it will be interesting to see how many people think it's funny and how many don't .

Ewan's My Man · 05-31-2003, 10:57 PM

I'd prolly just be like, "Uh huh...right..."

Tuesday Weld · 05-31-2003, 11:03 PM

I would probably ask him if he was joking.

Mysty Eyes · 05-31-2003, 11:12 PM

I don't think that I'd laugh, but it's all in the delivery of the lines, isn't it? Merely reading the words here did not make me laugh.

My first thought when I read the joke was that the person would more likely be spending the other days on the golf course. That's the common "doctor" joke.
