Lead in our homes a life undangerous:1868, Augusta Webster (transl.), The Medea of Euripides, page 20, line 245–246 - One of the basic requirements of a joke is that it come as close as possible to being 'unfunny.' The closer, the funnier. "Where did the jellyroll?" is not very funny. We may crack a smile at the little pun, but clean, undangerous puns have to be very virtuosic to get a strong reaction.1984 April 28, George Bozeman, “Spoiled Jokes”, in Gay Community News, page 4
