If someone wud ask me where to find a funny joke , all i wud suggest is the address of any nearby sardarji in the colony... But something even more absurd has happened..
Scientist have found a formula of the perfect joke....
Here it goes...
The mathematical equation for the perfect joke has been revealed by scientists.

The formula - c=(m+nO)/p - was worked out by Helen Pilcher

In the formula, c is the funniness of the joke;
m is the "comic moment" which is arrived at by multiplying the punchline's funniness rating by the length of the joke's buildup.

nO is the number of times the subject undergoes a pratfall, multiplied by the "ouch factor" - the social and physical pain of the indignity involved.
The total is divided by the number of puns, p.
Puns are seen as dissipating the power of a joke because they tend to encourage groans rather than laughter
