An old Jew eventually dies of old age and goes to heaven. He meets God and tells him a holocaust joke. And God says “That’s not funny”. And he says: “I guess you had to be there.”

(I like how philosophical the joke is, heard it from Ricky Gervais.)

    this is one of my favorite jokes, and i draw it out quite a bit farther. when you make it longer, when you drop the punchline it hits better.

    it might make a bit more sense too, to the listener. in short;

    the man walks through the pearly gates, down a very long hallway. as he reaches the end of the hallway, he realizes he is in front of god himself. he says to god, ‘god, i want to tell you a holocaust joke’. god looks at the man and says, ‘sir, that is not funny’. the man says ‘oh, i guess you had to be there’
