Bad joke alert!!

Suddenly, there seems to be a proliferation of bad jokes in the Indian blogosphere… more so amongst the cap-wearing, pomegranate-consuming members of an infamous cartel.

Even though I’m not one of the Cartelian sub-ordinates… I have, in my time, come up with some groaners. And so, from my archives, here are a couple of such lame-ass jokes guaranteed to cause indigestion!!

Joke 1
There is this man who has a brother. Now, this brother falls in love with a female and gets married even though there is a lot of opposition in the family to their marriage. Everyone disowns the brother… everyone except our man!

It so happens that the brother’s wife gives birth to a girl. Everyone is happy… even the family that had once disowned the brother. Our guy becomes the godfather of the little girl. Then years pass and the girl grows up to be a beautiful woman. And inevitably falls in love with a guy from her college. There is a sense of déja vu as the entire family goes against this match. Again, everyone except our guy disowns the girl. The family members constantly taunt and harass the girl on the subject of her affair with the guy from her college. The girl suffers all these taunts silently till one day she can’t take it anymore. She attempts suicide by eating a lot of sleeping pills.

Thankfully, our guy finds her fallen on the living room floor and rushes her to a nearby hospital. The doctors toil hard to bring the girl out of danger. They congratulate the guy on his promptness because otherwise it would have been too late.
Now, the girl is resting on the hospital bed and our guy is outside the room, sitting on a bench looking awfully crestfallen. Just then he sees the lead singer of a very famous rock group, passing by… a group that is one of the girl’s favourite!… Our guy has an idea… he requests the the singer to go and meet the girl to cheer her up. After a little persuasion the singer agrees. He goes inside the room and after a few minutes, comes back. Then that world famous singer, tells the guy that the girl is okay and happy now. The singer also starts singing a song.
Hearing the song, our guy nods and says “Yes!”.

…Now… who is that singer and what song did he sing??

Ans. The singer was Steven Tyler … and the song that he sang was… “Fallin’ in love is so hard on your niece… ”
