Wrong BTW, and no your comments didn't help.
Sometimes the board just fancy hearing a decent joke, they are after all human. I once told a long drawn out joke in an interview (successful) only to see it appear several days later in Jet Blast! Coincidence? Possibly.
In an interview situation, this approach could also serve to test how you behave under pressure - and I think we'd all agree that's a pretty high stress question!
Worth having one or two quick one liners under your hat though. Can't think of any right now.
