You prick!

You got me. Nice one.

Because it was only funny the first time

Yeah, when someone cracks a joke at a party and then someone says it again right after following a laugh, it doesn't always go so well.

Maybe the second poster just needed to be less complete... One of my high school buddies would do this (only once per audience, granted).

I would tell a joke. People would laugh. Then he would start telling the same joke, trailing off when people started looking at him funny, ending with "Well, it was funny when HE told it!"

recursive, not redundant.

Whew 14 points in the hole on the snake link. Note to self, commenting is dangerous!, just submit, submit, submit... Bah, I knew there was a reason I always hated recursion (except for parsing). The negative pointage just goes to prove it.
