The two ladies were sitting in the living room, waiting for their hostess, who was slightly delayed. The daughter of the family was with them, on the theory that she would keep the visitors occupied during the wait.
The child was about six years old, snub nosed, freckled, buck toothed and bespectacled. She maintained a deep silence and the two ladies peered doubtfully at her. Finally, one of them muttered to the other, "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y, I fear," carefully spelling the key word.
Whereupon the child piped up, "But awful s-m-a-r-t."

This joke was funny for me the first time I heard it a few years ago... Unfortunately, it is also one of my friend's favourite jokes - in fact, possibly the only joke he knows!!! - and so I have heard it many many times. After about the 50th time (and because he forgets he's told me), it loses a little of it's funniness
I do really
