I was just back in the lab where a technician and our buildings & grounds guy were swapping jokes. Actual jokes. Who does that anymore?

Older folks still try and tell jokes… I’ve had a few salesmen clumsily try to win favor by starting off with a joke. Generally, I just stared in disbelief at them, like an Australopithecines had walked in and tried to sell me resistors. Anachronism, dontchaknow.

When did they go away? What was the last generation to tell jokes?
