Writing new jokes

For every good joke I have, I unfortunately have at least four that suck.  I sat down to write new ones yesterday and got two that may work.  However, I plunged into the folder o’ shame and tried to rewrite some older jokes.  I think I may have, for three hours’ effort, five minutes pulled out of the trash pile of unhumor.  This, combined with the original effort, means I have invested six hours of my life, at least, to bring five minutes’ worth of jokes to the masses (45 people).  Tonight, if half works, I’ll call it a win.
