Attribute to L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

I never new horses could fly. Never really throught it through actually. And going through TSA! Anyway:

“Scientists” have discovered, or uncovered, or thunk up the World’s Funniest Joke. Or so they say. It now follows:

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?”

Okay, that is funny. Excuse me, I’ll have to take some time to stop laughing (again).

The joke is from [Here]

Okay. There is another joke I found much funnier. In fact I must have laughed for 15- or 20-minutes at it. Alas, it is not a joke that can be told. You have to read a book. And the joke comes in about three-quarters of the way through, and requires all that has proceeded for it’s impact. I even knew it was coming—my wife had encountered it first—but it still stuck me by surprise and, like I said, I laughed and laughed, and every time I tried to start reading again, I’d start laughing. Will it do this to everybody? I dono, but the book is Interface, by Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick George if you’d like to try it yourself. It’s a good read even if you don’t get the joke.

If you haven’t noticed, I finally got the sort-of job descriptions posted. Links are on the main page. Not that I’m in a hurry to retire from here, but, well, there is this:

Golly! The HR Manager at my personal website has fired me! I didn’t even know I had a HR Manager! Or that I got paid! And who is this CEO? Weird Stuff™. Good old SPAM. It’s everywhere! I’m deeply saddened too. After I stop laughing, that is.

Speaking of laughing:

How To Run Windows 11 and macOS Virtual Machines in Linux, by Les Pounder.

But enough of that, on to the funny pictures! I mean, without funny stuff life would be a mistake. Or a mistake would be without life. I can’t remember now how it goes. Piffle, away we go:

Stay Deplorable my friends!
