One person explained why:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Cash Peters<\/b>:  Standard jokes are a bit like really bad weekend sex.  The kind of sex where, you know, you were tired all week so you plan to have sex on the weekend, but it&#8217;s never as fun as random, spontanous, exciting sex.  Jokes are like that.
