Shaggy Dog stories class ranking prediction

The first story involved a play on words. It had some humor to it and the 
punchline was at the end. Enough information was provided to explain the
new version of the quote. While reading this, I envisioned in my mind 
the string trying to get the beer. Prediction for class rank: #2

The second story was not humorous to me at all. It was a joke and involved
a play on words. It seems like not many people would understand the 
punchline especially if they do not already know the original quote. I could
not connect to the quote.          Prediction for class rank: #3

The next story's punchline was kind of corny but the wording was clever. I
didn't find it funny but liked the wording of the quote. There was a play on
words and enough data was provided to explain the new version of the quote.
                                                Prediction for class rank: #4

The last story put visual images in my mind. I could relate to the punchline at
the end and enjoyed the play on words and the humor.
                                                Prediction for class rank: #1

The patterns I noticed were the play on words, the punchline at the end, and 
enough information being provided to explain the new version of the quote.

The theory of all of the stories is that the quote at the end gives meaning to 
the story.  

All of the stories have clever punchlines and readers will have different reactions
to each of them. What one finds funny, another one will not. The play on words
was done well for each of them.
