Thread: if, else if question

Can someone please explain why this program does not work? Also, for some reason, I cannot get my cin.get() to pause and await a key press from the user. I know both items are rather simple but I have drawn a blank. Thank you all!

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int choice;

int main()
{
    using namespace std;

    cout << "Do you want to hear a joke?" << endl;
    cout << "Enter y for yes or n for no:" << endl;
    cin >> choice;

        if (choice == 'y' || choice == 'Y')
        {
            cout << "\n" << endl;
            cout << "What do you call a guy with" << endl;
            cout << "no arms and no legs laying on the floor?" << endl;
            cout << "\n" << endl;
            cin.get();
            cout << "Matt!" << endl;
        }
        else if (choice == 'n' || choice == 'N')
        {
            cout << "Program will end." << endl;
            return 1;
        }
return 0;
}
