Well, GM... it was fun while it lasted.
Thanks for your efforts. I tried to help out, as did any number of others.

Hey- it lasted 10 days. Frankly, it's longer than I'd expected.
BUT- all time frames aside, it did go exactly as I expected it.

Coming up with jokes in a charged atmosphere like we have today requires a little extra effort. It requires extrta effort to find the humor. It requires extra effort to share the humor. And it requires extra effort (on the part of all) to appreciate the humor, with all contributors/contestants agreeing to play the game within the established framework.


Bruh- You were never gonna ever be able to 'herd these cats' into a fun thread that lasted more than one or two pages.
Never.

But I love the idea.

As we've now seen, it didn't take too long for a fun idea to turn itself to the usual pile of ButtDropStank that we so often find at this address.

So... Imma pull out the defibrillator, administer three rounds of 360 joules, and continue applying chest compressions:


A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" The dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your mother, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her The Government. We're both here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you The People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him The Future. Now, think about that, and see if that makes sense." The little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that his baby brother has soiled his diaper. The little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks through the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the working class, The Government is sound asleep, The People are being ignored... and The Future is in deep [censored]."
