A joke I overheard

[Sarxis]

One Caretaker says to another Caretaker, "Joke: directed to you. Usurpers: most annoying trait?"

The other responds, "Answer: inconceivable."

The first exclaims, "Existance: they possess! Har! Har! Har!"

[Note: I may have lost something in the translation....?]

[Sarxis]

A little worm told me- or was that 'telepathically instilled the vision in my mind before ingesting my grey matter'?

[Wiglaf]

I take it this is a joke thread?

If that's the case then just say so

[death_head]

One Usurper says to another Usurper, "Joke: directed to you. Caretakers: most annoying trait?"

The other responds, "Answer: inconceivable."

The first exclaims, "Existance: they possess! Har! Har! Har!"

Oh am I funny

[Sarxis]

Funny: Maybe..

Original: Not likely..

[Kirnwaffen]

Would fit well in "Lal's Book of Recycling Tank Humor"

[death_head]

What do you mean my joke wasn't original? I don't see any others exactly like it!

If someone ever compiles a bunch of SMAC jokes and publishes it as "Lal's Book of Recycling Tank Humor", I'll be the first in line.

Along with countless variations on

"A mindworm walks into a bar . . ."

"How many mindworms does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

"Lal, Morgan, and Yang were on a crashing needlejet with only two parachutes . . "

and "Gaian farmers' daughter" jokes.

[Wiglaf]

Someone try to make a knock knock joke with the Caretakers. I'm now confident it's impossible.

Orange you glad I didn't say Caretakers?

[Wiglaf]

WRONG!

I meant make a joke with the caretakers talking in their language. (Existance: they possess, for example) You thought you had me beat with that .. thing!

[Sarxis]

"Main entrance: receives double rap."

"Response: identify self?"

"Identity confirmation: Deirdre"

"Secondary indentity query: Deirdre specify?"

"Conclusion: Deirdre hear the one about the Usurpers? Har, Har, Har!"

[death_head]

That wasn't the caretakers talking...that was two Hive drones on lunch break (if they get one)

[Clear Skies]

Along the same lines:

"Entrance: concussed twice consecutively"

"Response: identify self?"

"Identity confirmation: Yang

"Information: insufficient. Yang: specify?"

"Conclusion: Yang Usurpers: equally stupid: old Usurpers! :laughter:"
