Did you hear the one about the three eggs? Two bad.
News item! I have resolved to break the world record for the greatest number of jokes told in one hour and, as of 4/13/05, have submitted a proposal to the Guinness organization to that effect.
Who knew that doing comedy and being able to speak very fast (an "ability" that I find nearly impossible to switch off, much to my detriment in high school speech competitions) could get me into the Guinness Book?
I have submitted my proposal to break this record to the Guinness officials, and I now must wait 4-8 weeks to hear back with details such as whether the jokes must be original, whether they must be memorized, etc.
The best information I was able to dig up is that the current record for most jokes told in one hour is 676. I feel certain that I can do better. I feel certain that a New York comedy club would like to host this event. I feel certain I will need some cough syrup.

Thank you for registering your record attempt with Guinness World Records.
One of our representatives will contact you within the next 4-6 weeks with
a decision on your record request.
If your suggested record is approved, we will get back to you with rules
and regulations so that you may attempt your proposed record. If you have
already attempted a record, and we are interested in your submission, we
may ask for the documentation needed to verify the record.
Should your record proposal/attempt be unsuccessful, we will send you a
detailed reason outlining our decision and we will often suggest a
similar, existing record.
Our online tracking service enables you to track the progress of your
record claim through the Guinness World Records website. You will need
your membership number and password to access this service - these will be
sent to you once your claim has been assigned to a researcher.
Thank you for contacting Guinness World Records. Good luck!
