Christmas crackers: Tell us your favourite joke

The search is still on for the world's funniest joke and a UK psychologist has just revealed the first results from his Laugh Lab, set up to find out what sort of gags make us all chuckle.

The experiment on the internet reviewed 10,000 jokes with the help of 100,000 surfers from more than 70 countries.

Males preferred jokes that involved aggression, putting women down and sexual innuendo; women preferred jokes that played on words.

With Christmas just around the corner, we want to know what is your funniest Christmas cracker joke.

Although cracker jokes are notoriously bad, we hope you can come up with some real Christmas crackers!
