Why are so many jokes ruined with this crap? It's obviously added in th email chain by some little uptight woman who can't take a joke.

The wonder is, why do people keep these petty additions when they forward the joke?

I would have guessed it was added clearly by a man who wanted to add emphasis that uptight women can't take a joke. But anyways, I agree with you that it shouldn't be added. A good joke says the punchline and ends so that either (1) everyone can burst out in laughter or (2) the comedian can make a run for the door. A bad joke tries to continue on, which has the effect of ruining the climax.

To answer your second question, people are lazy. Just like The Green Bean was too lazy to remove the forwarding marks and make paragraphs instead of abrupt cartridge returns at the end of every line.
