Thanks so far...

The space bar should only be pressed once in my experiment:

vizact.onkeydown(' ', play_first_joke)

As soon as it's been pressed, it shouldn't invode the play_first_joke method anymore.

vizact.onkeydown(' ', None)

...gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
