Anyone fancy testing something for me?

As some of you may know, I am quite into artificial intelligence and have recently entered a competition to write a computer program that can create original jokes and poems.
I wondered if any of you would be so kind as to test it before the actual judges get to it, so I can see where it need work.
Most of the jokes it creates will be pretty bad and the poems pretty surreal but we are being judged more on our program's capability to actually produce some material than the humour content.
To test it, please say "tell me a joke about ....." and then a subject or "tell me a poem about .....". It works better if you use nouns, so "Tell me a joke about a dance" will work better than "Tell me a joke about dancing".
At the moment, if it can't create a joke about the subject you enter, it will fall back on a few default jokes/poems.

(By the way, it doesn't know about Answerbank and so won't be able to make one up for that)
Thanks for any help. I will get to see any logs that it produces and so can amend it if a few of you are kind enough to test it.

No worries. It should display a red screen with a disclaimer saying something along the lines of "if you swear at it, it will be mean to you". Just click on "click here to agree". It will then load and display a message saying "type your message here". If you then put in something like "tell me a joke about shoes", it should generate a joke.
You will need flash player in order for it to work.

Thanks dotty. Unfortunately, it doesn't know the noun "elections" but it soon will. Thanks for testing. I have put in as many nouns and attributes I can think of and just need people to now test it out as there is always something I haven't thought of.
It is supposed to use the vocabulary of a 12 year old and so I guess I missed out on "election".

Not really, Akinator is coded to play 20 questions where my program creates jokes based on attributes of objects.
Say for example the object you ask about is blue, like the sea or sky, it will take the word blue and come up with something like, "Why was the sky sad? - Because it was feeling blue!" or if it is a musical instrument, it will say something like "Why did the piano/drum/guitar lean against a wall? - because it was musically inclined!".
