What makes a joke?

Somethingawful has put together a project in which classic jokes and types of jokes are unpacked -- once offensive jokes given innocuous punchlines, or hackneyed setups wandering off into random straight directions... Sounds overintellectual, perhaps, but they are totally transfixing; I defy you to read just one page's worth!
A priest, a rabbi, and a buddhist monk walk into a bar, sit at the end and start having some drinks. Two hours later, they come out with a better understanding of each other and a mutual respect, the beginnings of a friendship that last a lifetime.
