The Funniest Joke in the World -- Ruined, forever.

[usagi]

Once a soldier asked his commanding officer for a day's leave to attend his sister's wedding.
The officer asked him to wait outside the door for a few minutes while he considered the request.
The officer then called the soldier back in and said, "You are a liar. I've just phoned your sister and she told me she's already married."
"Well, sir, you're an even bigger liar," the soldier replied, "because I don't even have a sister."


Questions for Discussion
1.   Why did the soldier tell the officer a lie?
2.   Why did the officer tell the soldier a lie?
3.   Can you remember telling such lies?

An employee at ACME Widget once went to see his boss about getting a day off, but he first had to come up with a lie for the request, for it was his nature. Besides, he figured, his boss was an ass. Once satisfied in his mind that the lie will work, he went to Mr. Gel's office.

"What can I do for you today, Bruce?," Mr. Gel asked. Bruce went into great detail as to why he needed the day off, and once Bruce was finished, he was sent back to his station to await a reply. After several minutes, Mr. Gel came a runnin' to see Bruce and said, "I just spoke with your doctor and he said you didn't have...", whereupon Bruce replied, "You're still an ass!" And that's how they met, taking the rest of the day off and went on a picnic. To this day they still argue as to whom bought the chicken.

Once a newbie signed up for BitcoinTalk to beg. "I lost all my BTC in the recent NakamotoDICE theft", he said.
A long-time forum user asked him to stop yelling while he considered the request.
The forum user then PM'd the newbie and said, "You're a liar. I contacted NakamotoDICE and they say all BTC funds will be refunded."
"Well, sir, you're an even bigger liar," the newbie replied, "because NakamotoDICE doesn't even exist."

Has it been ruined yet?

I see this turning into an only activity thread unless two psychotherapist wannabes opt to get into a flame war.

On a rainy day, a little Indian from a tribe goes to his chief and asks, "Chief, how do you name all the people of our tribe?"

The Chief replies,"Oh, it quite easy. When baby born, I look first thing I see moving in wilderness, and name baby just that."

"How so?" asks the Indian.

"Well," replies the Chief, "if I see coyote running in field, I name baby Running Coyote, if I see bull sit, I name baby Sitting Bull."

"Oh, I see now" says the Indian.

Then the Chief turns to the Indian and says, "Well, why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?"

We have a winner. Competition closed.

Bruno I'm so waiting for that PM you promised to write a week ago. I miss your tender off-public notes so dearly.

Btw: I'm only accepting a 'Yes' of course!

Most kindly, yours truly and lovingly,
