3.00@TheAllMemeingEye I can give a summary for those jokes.
The cow sex joke involved making the audience first bet on which of two punchlines a not-yet-told joke was going to have - "a wild goose chase" or "barking up the wrong tree", and then telling the audience the joke.
My notes for the joke (not quite a transcript, my delivery was different):
"A friend of mine flamed out at his tech job so he and his wife moved to work on a ranch. It was good at first but his wife started complaining they never had sex anymore. When she asked him why, he blamed it on being distracted by an animal on the farm.
Suspicious, she hires a private eye to tail her husband. After a few days, the PI reports back: 'Every day, there's this wild goose that sneaks into the slaughterhouse and tries to steal the beef. Your husband spends hours chasing it around. The only way he can scare it off is by barking at it like a dog until it flies into a tree, and then barking from the base of the tree more until it flies away from the property. Frequently though, he guesses the wrong tree and the bird keeps returning.
The wife asks, 'So how do we fix my sex life? Does he stop the wild goose chase or does he stop barking up the wrong tree?'
The PI's response: Either of those would help but my biggest suggestion is that he stops fucking the dead cow." The joke being that neither earlier option was the actual punchline.
The number one - not my joke - involved a guy being given the number of a woman at a bar. It was pretty long so I'm skipping important setup but the punchline was his housemate pointing out the number was clearly fake because it only had 8 digits.
The meta one involved a bit about identifying the bets that were going to resolve false.
@TheAllMemeingEye The context that they were reaching so hard to make the random things funny did in fact make it funny. Metahumor.
