Haven't seen anything here for well over a week. What's (not) happening?

That reminds me of a story told by my Uncle Bernie from Queens.

A man was riding on a train from Minsk to Pinsk when a stranger came up to
him and asked...

(I decided to spare you the rest of the story, since you have heard it a
hundred times before, but feel free to embellish it when you tell it.)

If you have a really good ending, please post it here.

Didn't you get the memo? The mother ship arrived and everyone beamed up.
Too bad you missed it.

If you think you're getting free lunch
check the price of the beer.
