I didn't like the idea that the Joker had an origin either, but the bit that Mxy talked about where the Joker admits that the story changes all the time makes it work. The way I view the whole story is that the Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne and has probably figured out that it was the death of Wayne's parents that started the transformation into Batman. The Joker, considering himself and Batman linked, creates a similar story of 'one bad day' in an attempt to solidify that connection.
