Professor Septimus goes to the police station and reports "Officer, I was assaulted by three hoodla." I think that's the extent of my Latin jokes. I should make up some Roman jokes to compensate. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Heisenberg turns to the other two and says, "Clearly this is a joke, but how can we figure out if it's funny or not?" Gödel replies, "We can't know that because we're inside the joke." Chomsky says, "Of course it's funny. You're just telling it wrong. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

Very good. I got the joke with Heisenberg, but couldnt fit the other two in, so I had to look it up. From user Saboot in the link: “Why it’s funny: Because Heisenberg is uncertain, Godel sees that the joke is logically incomplete, and Chomsky is an asshole. I mean, because Chomsky distinguishes between the joke itself and the linguistic performance. ” I agree about Chomsky, but didn't know about his "linquistic performance" drivel; Godel I never heard of. Heisenberg seems like the guy who would say "we can't know because we're inside the joke" http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/06/28/the_most_intellectual_joke_you_know_an_idiot_s_guide_to_the_reddit_thread.html I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
