Why, WHY do people think jokes like that are funny?

In today's column, Miss Manners deals with an angry retail worker who is tired of hearing the same joke all the time.

No matter how much it might cost! Miss Manners will agree with you that even on Day 1, this was not very funny. But it had some slight newness that could pass for banter, or at least lightness of tone. More deep breaths.So, three couples will share a luxurious house for two weeks on vacation out of the country. Everyone has paid their one-third share. The couples are close friends. All are financially secure.
