it's just not funny

the previous topic discussed books that should never have been published. as a continuation, this post will discuss another written work that should not have been written at all: the jokes on ices sticks.
you must have seen them. occasionally, when you've finished your popsicle, you notice something has been typed on the small wooden stick. this is, inaccurately, called a "joke". one that i saw quite a few times went like this:
when is a fin not a fin? When it's a dolphin.
i'm sorry, but that wasn't a joke. why? for the simple reason that jokes are meant to be funny, and the above question and answer ARE NOT FUNNY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM!!!!
even little kids don't find ices jokes amusing. just today, i read out loud the joke on the popsicle stick my 6-year-old sister handed to me. when i finished the joke she stared at me blankly, and said the four words every comedian would rather die than hear: "I don't get it."
why didn't she "get it"? it's not that she's an uninteligent child, because she's actually very smart. it's because there's nothing to get. there's no punch line. there's nothing even slightly amusing about the joke. at all.
the saddest part about this is that ices taste so good. you're enjoying your treat down to the very last drop, until you get up to the dreaded joke. you know you shouldn't read it, but you do anyway. you think "maybe, just maybe, this joke will be a funny one." and it isn't. ever. it ruins the entire ices-eating experience! when i think of ices, i want to think of the sweet, cold, refreshing treat sliding down my throat, not:
what did the beachcomber name his daughter? Sandy!
ices jokes shouldn't exist. they are a disgrace to the english language.
