Sarah Palin Joke

There are different kinds of jokes, but not all of them are funny. Some of the funniest ones can be making fun of politicians or celebrities, which can also have sexual connotations. Many of the late night talk shows are good at coming up with jokes about current events including politicians or real life stories about celebrities, including the late night talk show host themselves.

Even David Letterman was able to turn his personal fiasco into a series of jokes. While he was trying to explain his misgivings, the audience was continually laughing at what was a serious confession. Sometimes, a good joke is all in the way it is delivered.

One of the best jokes lately was one that was told by Joy Behar on CNN regarding Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend, baby-daddy, of Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol. In speaking about Levi posing for an upcoming issue of Playgirl, Joy Behar says in the skeptical tone of hers, "Levi is planning on un-zipping his fly and revealing his "Johnston" for the whole world to see. Let's hope he isn't built like a moose, or Sarah Palin is liable to shoot him from a helicopter".

It's this off-color type of humor that can get funnier when you think about it later. It can also be known as sick humor, but jokes that are funny can be in the eye of the beholder.
