Interviewer: What is your greatest weakness?

Aspie: Answering the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics.

Interviewer: Could you give me an example?

Aspie: Yes I could.

Interviewer: Let us try again . . . your resume says you take things too literally.

Aspie: When did my resume learn to speak?

Interviewer: Last chance . . . what is the one word that defines you?

Aspie: Pronoun.

A joke that is of the "Dark Humor" genre . . .

Question:

Why are there so few jokes about the Rev. Jim Jones?


Answer:
Because the punchlines are too long.

Two Philosophers are lost at the top of a mountain.  Philosopher #1 pulls out a map and peruses it for a while.  Then he turns to Philosopher #2 and says: "Hey, I've figured it out!  I know where we are!"

"Where are we then?"

"Do you see that mountain over there?"

"Yes."

"Well, THAT is where we are!"

There was an elderly man who wanted to make his younger wife pregnant. So, he went to the doctor to have a sperm count done. The doctor told him to take a specimen cup home, fill it, and bring it back the next day. The elderly man came back the next day and the specimen cup was empty and the lid was on it. Doctor: What was the problem? Elderly man: Well, you I tried with my right hand...nothing. So, I tried with my left hand...nothing. My wife tried with her right hand...nothing. Her left hand...nothing. Her mouth...nothing. Then my wife's friend tried. Right hand, left hand, mouth....still nothing. Doctor: Wait a minute. You mean your wife's friend too?! Elderly man: Yeah, and we still couldn't get the lid off of the specimen cup.

here's this old soviet-era joke about a hapless soviet bureaucrat who kicks the bucket and finds himself in soviet hell- the soviet devil greets him warmly [warmly, get it?], "Comrade, you must know you are now in hell! but i will give you choice between two different parts of hell- capitalist hell, and communist hell." bureaucrat asks the devil, "what in hell is the difference?" and devil tells him, "in capitalist hell, a nail will be driven into your butt every day! this will not happen like this in soviet hell." the now alarmed bureaucrat says, "ok, to hell with that! i choose the communist hell!" and devil tells him, "very wise choice, indeed... oh, ahem, i forgot to tell you, that although a nail will not be driven into your butt every day in communist hell, on last day of month, ALL 30 NAILS WILL BE DRIVEN INTO YOUR BUTT! HAHAHAHAH...."

Another Soviet-era Communist joke . . .

A political activist named Dave was just arriving in Hell, and was told he had a choice to make.  He could go to Capitalist Hell or to Communist Hell.

Naturally, Dave wanted to compare the two, so he wandered over to Capitalist Hell.  There outside the door was Rockefeller, looking bored.

"What's it like in there?" asked Dave.

"Well," he replied, "In Capitalist Hell, they flay you alive, boil you in oil, chain you to a rock, let a vulture tear your liver out, and cut you up into small pieces with sharp knives."

"That's terrible!!" gasped Dave.  "I'm going to check out Communist Hell!"

He went over to Communist Hell, where he discovered a huge line of people waiting to get in; the line circled around the lobby seven times before receding off into the horizon.  Dave pushed his way through to the head of the line, where he found Karl Marx busily signing people in.  Dave asked Karl what Communist Hell was like.

"In Communist Hell," said Marx impatiently, "they flay you alive, boil you in oil, chain you to rock, let vultures tear out liver, and cut you up into small pieces with sharp knives."

"But... but that's the same as Capitalist Hell!" protested Dave.

"Da, komrad," sighed Marx, "but sometimes we don't have oil, sometimes we don't have knives..."

Another Commie joke . . .

Two communists are sitting together at a nudist colony.

One turns to the other and asks, "Have you read Marx?"

The second replies, "Yes, and I think it is . . .

. . . these damned wicker chairs!"

Still another Commie joke . . .

A son asks his father what Communism is, and the father starts explaining:

"Well, son, once upon a time there was this man named Lenin, except his real name was Uljanov.  He had a friend named Stalin, except he wasn't his friend and his name was Dzugashvili.  They started the October revolution, except it wasn't a revolution, it was a coup, and it wasn't in October, it was in November . . ."

"Geeze, dad, what a convoluted mess of lies and deception!" proclaims the son.


The dad replies . . .

". . . and now you understand Communism!"

This time, a Putin joke . . .

How does every Putin joke in Russia start?

This time, a Biden/Putin joke . . .

Joe Biden calls Putin on the Red Phone to discuss the latest situation.  He shares with Putin: "I had an interesting dream -- I saw Moscow, full of light, joy, dancing, and laughter, with people driving luxury cars -- just like it was before all these war sanctions.  There were neon lights and billboards all over the city!"

At this point, Putin asks: "And what did these billboards say?"

Biden responds . . .

. . . "How the Hell would I know?  I don’t speak Ukrainian!"
