WINNING JOKE IN BRITAIN

An Israeli doctor says: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles, put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work.

The German doctor says: "That's nothing. In Germany, we take part of a brain, put it in another man and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."

The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."

The American doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Six years ago, we took a Muslim with no brains, no heart and no balls and made him President. Now, the whole country is looking for work!"

This joke actually won an award for the best joke in world competition held in Britain!

It's the truth.

Can you confirm this is an award-winning joke, Mort?

I'd be tempted to do a "Reply All" and simply paste in this link with no commentary:

My wife and I have been on a kick of watching this lately. Two episodes run back to back at 7pm. What a great show that was. 40 years later and the topics are still relevant.

I'm not sure it qualifies as a joke when the setup is so strange and elaborate. It's like they wrote the punchline first and then strained to have it make sense.

thats exactly what it is (punchline first) and thats sloppy comedy

We do love complicated, wordy, unfunny jokes about other countries' presidents, so while I didn't attend the "Best Joke In World" competition this year, I reckon it stood a good chance.
