Well, some of you may know that for an original joke, Readers Digest will pay $100 (or $300, not sure) for an original jokes. If you have ever read any of them, then you probably know that most of them are lame, so here is my submission:
Jacob had been depressed fro quite some time, and he was planning on a trip to the doctor to see if he could get some anti-depressive reccommended. So, that evening, he went to hos local medical Clinic. It was rather run down, and in the 'not-so good' part of town. After fillig out his form, he was called in. The room was small and uncomfortable, and their was many disguisting tools on the wall. The Doctor came in after a few minutes, who looked very unfrofessional. His coat was dirty, ripped, and Jacob noticed a small blood stain on it. Worst of all, he had no name tag. Jacob decided to persist, in spit of the flaws of the doctor. "Yes, yes, now what is your problem?" The doctor said, uninterested. Jacob replied, "I have been depressed for a very long time, and I was wondering if their is a anti-depressant that you would reccommend, as all that I have tried have not helped at all." The doctor was flipping through some papers on his clipboard, and said, "Yes, there is a Visine for that."

No offense Dagoth, but if they gave you money for that... I don't know... It just seems like you go into too much detail concerning what the doctor looks like, etc. The answer he gives sparks no comedy. There's no irony, no sarcasm, no sardonic wit...

Yes, I know it is a joke on visine commercials, but it is poorly executed. And just because some are lame doesn't mean all have to be.

How can a joke be poorly executed? It's a joke Uesugi, not a story.

I have to, because I'm supposed to paint a picture on how unfrosessional he is, that he is a fraud.

Then why do you refer to it as a joke? And, I've read jokes in form of story that are well executed and make me laugh. There's little irony to this. He goes into to see a doctor who he has a bad feeling about. The doctor gives him bad advice/doesn't listen. To me, it seems a bit predictable, that's all. Don't mind me though. I was just giving an opinion.
