So this pirate walks into a bar with a steering
wheel coming out of the front of his pants. The
bartender says, "Hey, what's up with that steering
wheel?" The pirate replies, "Arr, it's driving
me nuts."

I give that one a 9.5. Probably not the funniest joke I've ever heard, but
the funniest I've heard in quite a while.

This is especially funny because of the way certain bits snuck up on me
after reading it. For instance, I was thinking "Why a pirate?" and then
realized that if he /wasn't/ a pirate, "driving me nuts" wouldn't have
doubled as "driving my nuts," and the whole point of the joke would have
been ruined. And yet upon first glance, the piracy of the protagonist
was unnecessary, so... um?

Where'd everybody go?

Waydaminit. The _Canadian_ judge gives the same low score as the
_Russian_ judge?

Are you implying that Canadians are as surly as Russians, especially
when it comes to "into a bar" jokes?

OK, new rule. No having kibological relations unless it's here on this
chatboard. Meetings in real life are exempt if you post an URL to some
pictures and other documentation.

I suppose if you post a transcript of your discussion here you'll be OK.
It's just that we can't have any development of the Memes outside of a
pubic forum. Otherwise, we'd be no better than the Mason!

Okay I don't often find jokes funny enough to make me laugh out loud,
THIS one made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes, and it spawned
a couple of reprises.

I'll probably laugh again when I tell it to Vlad, and when I send it
to everyone I know.

Thanks, Mister Suter!

Don't do it Jeremy. IQC is an evil arkcyhk conspiracy to get support
payments out of you.

Thanks for the warning Fool. But I was never tempted. In the distant
past, I have had an ICQ number, AIM, and Yahoo Pager. But I've already
learned the hard way the folly of "online" "messaging". Oh yes.

Now I just use "talk".

Quit whining and get ICQ, Fool. Since you already owe me support payments,
you might as well get some of the benefits. I would let you off the hook

Oh, if only Professor Kennilworth were here. He's probably
explain that pirates had a different, more piratical, term
for the testes and therefore the joke is inaccurate and
should be something with the phrase "nuggets of two"
in order to be as funny as Kennilworth's other work.

Hmm, this train, going the other way on the "E" route,
smells like burning PVC/PCBs just like the "B" train did
a few minutes ago. Could it be that all the Green Line
trains are filling with toxic smoke just to distract me
from coming up with more pirate terms for scrota?

Speaking of Green Line trains, they're still remodeling
(i.e. not allowing access to) all the normal surface stops
because they are raising them all six inches to make it
easier for wheelchairs to get onto the new Green Line
trains which are equipped to take wheelchairs, or were
during the month or so they used them before they removed
them all from service because they had three derailments,
and now the wheelchair lobbyists are upset that the trains
were taken out of service because they deserve the right to
ride on the train with the rest of us even though it means
constant derailments.

My feeling is that the Green Line should run the dangerous
new wheelchair-capable trains, because after they all derail
enough times the surviving passengers will want wheelchair
access, assuming they all have major injuries, which I'm
sure they will because these new trains were made by an
Italian company whose logo is a horse rearing up to throw
its rider. This is obviously more deadly than the previous
supplier, Kinki, whose logo was just the word "KINKI",
which is not dangerous at all unless you're Chandra Levy.

Also they should be filled with different kinds of smoke.
The "E" train should smell different from the "B" train.

Maybe they could buy
some scented urine.
