Funniest Joke in the World

Something I found in the Wayback Machine…

The Funniest Joke in the World:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”

The Second Funniest Joke in the World:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.”

Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.” 

Holmes said: “and what do you deduce from that?” 

Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.” 

And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.”

Two More:

An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

A woman told her friend: “For eighteen years my husband and I were the happiest people in the world! Then we met.”

In our favored version, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Stephen Hawking are seated next to each other at the Stockholm banquet after receiving their Nobel Prizes for Peace and Physics, respectively. Between courses one and two, the discussion naturally turns to cosmology. Before Hawking is even three sentences into his creation theory, the Dalai Lama interrupts him. “Mr. Hawking, I already read your book. Many mistakes.” Shocked, Hawking presses for an example. The Lama asserts that the universe is not “just floating there,” but is instead supported on the back of a great tiger. Smiling, Hawking asks what supports the tiger. The Lama asserts that it stands upon an elephant. Hawking then asks what supports the elephant. “A giant turtle,” the Lama replies. When asked, finally, what supports the turtle, His Holiness is briefly taken aback, but quickly replies, “Ah, after that it is turtles all the way down. Justice Antonin Scalia, Rapanos v.

Worth a watch!

Above is a wonderful short video assembled by NCDD2010 NorCal participant Edwin Rutsch of the Center for Building a Culture of Empathy highlighting our San Francisco Bay event, one of five events happening across the country this Fall.  These events are keeping me really busy, but its great to see the successful outcome of this work.

Jables Preview (via TheJaJitsu) — I particularly like the look of this one.

Penny Arcade! - More Things Than Are Dreamt Of — I played Gamma World when it first came out, good lord, over 25 years ago.  Seriously, I had the same reaction back then.
