If Plan A was to lose the baby weight, you should have went with Plan B.

This one's solid. But in this case it's really obvious that you're telling your friend she should have had an abortion on facebook. Awkward...

:thumbsup: and ..yeah, awkward. I'd still like a video reaction + facebook blowup.gif to accompany this joke.

it would be internet epic.

I said that if you can't make the joke make sense in the English language, then don't make it. If your joke can easily be mistaken for a typo, you have failed at writing that joke.

Other people seem to be getting it fine. Maybe the problem is you?

he's saying that he understands it just fine. the problem is that the original delivery was piss-poor.

It's a perfectly good tasteless joke for sure, and others have provided better delivery.

As humor, this joke depends on wordplay. As constructed in the OP, there is a total breakdown of wordplay. Hence, the listener experiences mostly confusion for a bit, then a mild guffaw....if you're lucky.

I didn't experience either because I was only aware of Plan (A)nal, which is an excellent form of contraception.

If you gotta ask...then most likely, both you and your friends are morons...

Doc Pizza nailed the "joke." Even that's not all that funny, but the delivery is far better.

That would just dumb down the joke for no reason. Thats not how it should have been

If by dumb down you mean, make it grammatically correct, then yes.

Also, this is not a good joke choice for some one that just had baby.
