Have yall heard really good jokes or recv'd 'em in email, but can't remember where they are now? Thought I'd start a "joke thread" to provide a good place to look for 'em in the future. Also, something that everyone can refer to when in need of something to brighten the day, eh?
Here's a good one for starters:
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Today the government announced that it is
changing its emblem from an eagle
to a condom, to more accurately reflect the
government's political stance:
A condom stands up to inflation, halts
production, destroys the next
generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives
you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.
It just doesn't get more accurate than that > A major research institution has recently
announced the discovery of
> the heaviest chemical element yet known to
science. The new element
> has been tentatively named "Governmentium."
Governmentium has one
> neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy
neutrons, and 11 assistant
> deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
> These 312 particles are held together by forces
called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of
lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it
is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one
> reaction to take over four days to complete
when it would normally take less than a second.
> GOVERNMENTIUM has a normal half-life of four
years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase
over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some
> scientists to speculate that Governmentium is
formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." > You will know it when you see it.
> When catalyzed with money, Governmentium
becomes Administratium - an element which radiates just as much energy since it has half as
many peons but twice as many morons.
