      My mate rang me up the other day.
 He told me he had cut off his finger. I said, "What? You cut off your whole finger?" He replied, "No! The one beside it". | |

      No.  Like most of my favourite jokes, I either get them from DVDs or TV comedy programmes.
 What difference does it make? | |

      Surely ORIGINALITY is the issue you are discussing.
 Listen, even professional comedians steal each others' material. It is called SHARING. A bit like stealing from the Apple shop. It should be treated as scrumping. (AND before you say it, that isn't one of my originals, either. Ha ha ha.) | |

      Personally, I don't have a problem with comedians stealing others' jokes; however, only when untruthfully claiming originality, which I was not accusing you of.
