Chestnut is a British slang term for an old joke, often as old chestnut . The term is also used for a piece of music in the repertoire that has grown stale or hackneyed with too much repetition. A plausible explanation for the term given by the Oxford English Dictionary is that it originates from a play named The Broken Sword by William Dimond ref http www.worldwidewords.org qa qa che3.htm World Wide Words Chestnut ref , in which one character keeps repeating the same stories, one of them about a cork tree , and is interrupted each time by another character who says Chestnut, you mean . . . I have heard you tell the joke twenty seven times and I am sure it was a chestnut . The play was first performed in 1816, but the term did not come into widespread usage until the 1880s.

The Bellman joke is a type of simple joke popular among Sweden Swedish schoolchildren, always including a person named Bellman as the main character. The jokes first became popular in the 19th century, and were originally inspired by the life of the poet and composer Carl Michael Bellman . The first known Bellman jokes survive in a book from 1835, which quotes a Bellman joke in a letter written 1808 by a contemporary of Bellman. 19th century Bellman jokes tended to focus on CM Bellman s life at court, and often contained sexual humour. Since then, however, the Bellman character of the jokes has changed into a generic person, rather than the historical figure. The shift from jokes told by adults to jokes told mainly by young schoolchildren up to 10 years of age probably happened in the first half of the 20th century. ref Klintberg, Bengt af. 1987. http www.buks.dk PDF Varfor er bellmannhistorierna roliga.pdf Varf r r Bellmanhistorierna roliga? In BUKS tidsskrift for b rne og ungdomskultur no 9. ref The modern versions of the Bellman jokes often include Bellman and two other characters of different nationalities, with the former coming out victorious from a tricky situation. However, in many Bellman jokes, Bellman is portrayed as something of an anti hero , who may cheat, lie or even smell very bad in order to get the last laugh. Another common theme is that Bellman fools or makes fun of a priest, policeman or other authority figure. He can thus be seen as a modern sort of a trickster . The jokes tend to involve bodily functions such as urinating or defecating . The ubiquitous character of the stories and the fact that they have been told in various forms for so many years have made them subject to study by ethnology ethnologists such as Bengt af Klintberg ref Klintberg, Bengt af. 1998.

Ethnic jokes have been around since people first noticed they were different from one another, and ethnocentrism and a sense of ethnic identity appeared. Jokes feed upon difference and distinctions not only ethnic, of course and if one of the functions of ethnic jokes is to ridicule and depreciate these in out groups, another function is to maintain and strengthen a sense of one s identity in some in group.

Orphan date February 2009 Island jokes are joke s about a person or group of people stranded on a desert island . This setting is typically used to play on stereotypes of the people present. This may refer to their profession, religion or nationality, or the people involved may be famous figures. The island setting highlights the absurdity of the stereotypical behaviour and prejudices of the protagonists, suggesting that they will find a way to express their own particular foibles even in a hostile setting. This setting is also popular in cartoons . The stereotypical landscape is a small hump of dry land with a ragged person or persons under a sole palm tree . Example A Scottish Presbyterian is rescued after many years on a desert island. As he stands on the deck of the rescuing vessel, the captain says to him, I thought you were stranded alone. How come I can see three huts on the beach? Well, replies the castaway, that one there is my house and that one there is where I go to church. And the third one? asks the skipper. Oh, that s my old church. Example Three guys are shipwrecked on a desert island a newlywed, a divorcee, and a Public Broadcasting & National Public Radio fan. The newlywed says, Don t worry guys, my bride and I are eternally dedicated to each other, she ll search to the ends of the earth and won t rest till she finds me. The divorcee replies, Yah, don t sweat it fellas, the judge ordered me to pay my evil ex wife an arm & a leg in alimony she ll figure out a way to find me. To which the PBS watching NPR listener responds, Two years ago my girlfriend turned me on to PBS & NPR, and I contributed the 30 minimum gift. Last year I contributed the dollar a day 365 gift.
