Jokes and humorous anecdotes were his life. He watched every big comedian on TV, devoted many hours after work to finding new comedy clubs with new comedians. There was nothing else to his life but comedy.
One day, the skeleton is going through the back alley to a small, unknown comedy club, when an old oil lamp falls out of a dumpster. The skeleton realizes this is his big opportunity. He gives the lamp a rub, and out comes a genie! The genie looks at the skeleton, and says, "So, you've found my lamp. I will grant you 2 wishes, and your wishes will be granted as long as you fulfill a promise. You must bring my lamp far away, so that it will be lost, and be found by someone completely different. Is this acceptable?" The skeleton agrees. He begins an arduous journey.
After a long journey, far to the end of the world, he sets the lamp down, and the genie re-appears. "You have fulfilled your promise. Now, I will grant your wishes." The skeleton is overjoyed. "Well, for my first wish, I want to know every comedic routine on Earth, even ones that are newly invented when they happen, every joke, every pun, everything related to humor." The genie nods, but says, "If I grant this wish, you may no longer enjoy humor. The foreknowledge of every punchline, how every routine ends up, you'll become a grouchy, unhappy skeleton who can't enjoy simple humor. Are you sure you want me to grant it?" The skeleton says yes. So the wish is granted.
The rest of the joke doesn't matter, he now already knows the punchline is that he didn't want to have only the bare bones of humor anymore.
