Actuarial humour is like a dog walking on his hind legs. It is not well done, but you are surprised to find it done at all. Dr Samuel Johnson (adapted) The problem with actuarial jokes is not the jokes themselves, but that if you get them, you don't have any friends to tell them to. You know how awful the average actuarial joke is? Well, by definition, half of them are even worse than that. J.R. Bob Dobbs (adapted)
