Nice try Frank, for the 100th time you’ve posted this.

You know, poster Winco, I too have noticed that poor Frank long ago stopped at the fence to his field of wit.
I put myself through university a gabillion years ago as a part-time bartender (a pretty good job for a college kid, I'm here to testify)....anyway, in the joint I worked there was this guy who would come in about once a week. Grab a stool at the corner of the bar. And then tell the same joke. Week after week.
The regulars, polite guys that they were, would look up at the ceiling, look down at their shoes, ponder their beers.....but never, ever, look at each other.
Because.......well, because they were afraid if they caught the eye of another regular they'd fall off their seats snickering at the poor would-be comedian who could never find any new material. I admired their sense of forbearance of... and lack of rudeness to..... the poor sad bloke.
But he quickly drank his 'shorty' (back then they had 10oz drafts)....and then left. No harm, no foul. Till he came back again the next week.
Sad but kinda heart-warming. I tell that story with great nostalgia.
