The concept of zero tacos confuses me.  How can you have any tacos (or taco) if there are zero of them?  It is just a nebulous concept that is all.

Also, I think Syphilis is a beautiful sounding word if it weren't attached to a horrible sexually transmitted disease.

 :th_twocents:

thread title. 0 to 5 tacos.

I am just trying to make the taco scale legitimate (like MC Hammer too legit to quit level of legit).

The scale is perfect.

If the scale is perfect, why did you give out 72 tacos for the Bill Clinton sexy bj joke when the scale is 0 to 5 tacos?  I am just worried about the internal consistency, reliability and validity of your scale CF3.  I like tacos and I just want the taco level to reflect something meaningfully funny.  I want to know that when I see a three taco rating that it really means three tacos and not reflection of the biases you view the joke with.  5 point Likert scales are tricky you know?  I just want your interval level taco scale to reflect a true rating of humor via taco visuals and I worry about the inter joke rating correlations.

I think we owe tacos around the world the respect they deserve.

KSLIM basically told 20 jokes with those basic punchlines.  72/20=3.6 tacos

3.6 tacos per joke
20 jokes
72 tacos.

I love the taco scale.  I love tacos.  I love jokes too so the taco scale is fusing two huge passions of mine.  I just saw that the scale contained 0 which is typical of a ratio level scale.  However, I noticed the actual taco scale was an interval level (closer to ordinal level) and my hope is to take this thing global with scientifically founded principles based on the psychometric properties of the taco scale.

Standard is 1 to 7 unless ratio level.  0 to 7 actually contains 7 intervals: 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6 and 6 to 7. The assumption of this type of scale is that each interval is equivalent and zero has a meaning.  Take the Celsius scale.  0 degrees Celsius is freezing and has meaning.  The interval between 0 to 1 degree Celsius has meaning in that it takes so many Joules of energy to raise anything that 1 degree (varying on the type of matter).  The taco scale is more like a ordinal scale similar to NCAA rankings.  The distance between intervals is perplexing and 0 means nothing.  I am just trying to help take the taco scale to the next level.

If I hear one more thing about my taco scale I am gonna shut this whole thing down and never taco another joke. You'd have to live with that, that you deprived the earth of something so awesome like taco'ing a joke.

Also, I think Syphilis is a beautiful sounding word if it weren't attached to a horrible sexually transmitted disease.

 :th_twocents:

zero is a number

Zero is a number, but zero of something is nothing.  Proper scale should be 1 to 5 tacos. 

you get zero tacos if your joke sucks. none. zero. you go home taco-less. the world does not owe you a taco.

CF3, J-Dub, and Wacky all go to a Royals game, on the way home a semi hits them and they die. They all get up to heaven and meet St. Peter at the gates. St. Peter said "Okay everyone can come in, but whatever you do don't step on a duck." The gates open and there are ducks everywhere, all over the floor, on tabletops, everywhere. CF3 walks in and accidentally steps on a duck. St. Peter comes along and handcuffs him to the ugliest woman in all the world and says, "Now you must stay handcuffed for all eternity." J-Dub and Wacky see this and do their best to avoid the ducks. J-Dub goes months and months without stepping on any duck. Then one morning he wakes up and as he is getting out of bed he steps on two ducks. St. Peter comes over and handcuffs him to the most atrocious looking and smelling woman and says, "Now you must stay handcuffed to each other for all eternity." Now Wacky goes years and years and doesn't step on any ducks in all that time. Then one day St. Peter comes along and handcuffs him to the most beautiful woman he as ever seen. St. Peter says, "Now you must stay handcuffed to each other for all eternity." Wacky happily says, "Oh my God, what have I done to deserve this?!" And the woman says, "I don't know what you did, but I stepped on a duck."

Also going for some irony tacos here as Wacky is probably a solid 8 IRL.

0 tacos means the joke is not funny at all. How hard is that to understand?
Also, I think it might be a logarithmic scale.

A pirate walks into a bar.
He has the ship's steering wheel hanging from his pants.
The bartender is puzzled, and says, "Do you know that you have a steering wheel hanging from your pants, Sir?"
The pirate says,........









 "ARGH - It's driving me nuts!"
