http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke
I removed the jokes. Mikka reverted. My reasoning: * no reliable sources for these being considered representative of the classes of joke discussed * this is about the concept of the joke, it is not [[List of jokes]] (and most especially not [[List of randomly selected and generally abysmal jokes]]) * several are gratuitously offensive. It should be possible to read the article on joke, be told that racist jokes exist, but not be subjected to them unless you visit a separate article * WP:NOT a joke book * cruft, cruft, cruft and more cruft. Most are drive-bys.
