The 20-year-old joke book my uncle left hits harder than anything on my feed today
I flipped through his 2004 paperback of one-liners about pagers and dial-up last week, and honestly the delivery and timing made me laugh louder than any meme I've scrolled past in months, so what makes a joke age well for you, the setup or the punchline?

Honestly I used to think a good punchline was everything, but going back to those old jokes made me realize the setup is what really gets you. The way he built up to a punchline about a busy signal just had this rhythm to it that modern stuff skips. Now I catch myself appreciating the patience in the joke more than the actual laugh.
