I take no responsibility for the content or poorness ;) of the jokes.

Joke Collections

Monthly collections - These are in the .rtf (Rich Text Format) inside .zip archives. You need MS Wordpad / Microsoft Office 95 or similar to view these.

Here it is, a three years collection of jokes from Mantra Online. There are some pretty good jokes here.

Ok, totally there are a little more than 1000 jokes in these. They are in the .dbx format inside compressed zip archives.
DBX is the Outlook Express message storage format. Almost full collections of years 2001, 2002 and 2003 are here. These would work surely with Outlook Express 6 (v 6.00.2600.0000) on any OS that runs that version.

m01.zip 300KB
m02.zip 500KB
m03.zip 400KB

Instructions to read the jokes :

If you know how to import .dbx's into OE 6 or your e-mail program, don't read this. This is a very crude way of doing it as importing, etc. doesnt work most of the time. I assume that you dont want to change your current OE settings, which is what you would want to do if you were currently using it, and at the same time make it work.You could also import the .dbx's to Outlook or other compatible e-mail programs.

Each .zip has one .dbx file, which has the joke collection for the particular year. If you are going to anyway download all the three, its better to download all of them first and then do this.
Extract the zip(s) into a folder, say C:\mantra.
Open Outlook Express.
Create three new folders inside Inbox called m01 m02 and m03 respectively for the 3 dbx's. The folder-names are important here. You can rename them later.
Click on these folders once (so that blank dbx's are created in the store folder for them).
Tools->Options->Maintenance->Store Folder - Read the store folder name.
Close Outlook Express.
Using Windows, Cut and Paste these files from C:\Mantra to the Store Folder. You have to get an overwrite confirmation box. Click yes.
Run Outlook Express and read the jokes from the 3 sub-folders in Inbox. You can remove the empty directory C:\Mantra now. The folders can now be treated like any other OE folder.


I have other huge joke collections but i have to weed out a lot of other stuff and compile it, which would take me a lot of time. So i won't be putting it up.
