okay

Okay, a long time ago I remember a Monty Python skit about the joke that the Allies were going to use against the Axis powers in the war, okay? And how they had to translate the joke individual words at a time because if you heard the whole thing you'd laugh so hard you'd explode.

Okay. So on to current events. This kind of bad!fic is what we need to win the current war.

I read one and skimmed a second. I'm getting a headache. I don't think this is coincidental.

It's a good plan. I like it. Just make sure to use moderation in reading, please. Save yourselves.

The killer joke, by the way is:
My dog has no nose.
How does he smell?
Awful.

I know this because in 10th grade my friend Lisa and I used dictionaries to translate it into every language we could find, then ghosted into empty class rooms and left these chalk boards. Ah, the things we did for fun before the Internet.

That's actually Hitler's attempt at a counter-joke to match the killer one of the British. The killer joke is actually "Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput." Nonsensical German including some words that aren't even correct, which of course, makes it even funnier. =)

Hah, I love that skit. All of their WWII stuff is A+++, especially the episode where everyone quits taking it seriously.
