A joke I overheard

[bondetamp]

hehe

[Adalbertus]

To continue with those SMACizes jokes:
Yang has finally beaten Zakharov, Miriam and Santiago. Before putting them to the Punishment Sphere, he decides to to a social experiment (or something like that ) Each of them is locked into a small room, together with a (closed) tin of food.
Two days later, he looks into the first room, with Santiago. She lies in the corner, sleeping, the tin heavily deformed but open, the walls full of what apparently is more than half of the contents of the tin.
In the next room is also asleep. The walls are filled with mathematical formulae, and Zak apparently was able to throw the tin so exactly to the edge of a chair that it sprang open.
In the third room, the tin is untouched. Miriam is awake, a bit weak but looks happily out of the window into the sun, muttering "I believe I've eaten my fill".

Zak: "If I said you had a beautiful Biolab wold you hold it against me?"
Dierdre: "Is that a monolith in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?"
Lal: "I have an extra talent you might appreciate…"
Santiago: "Prepare to enter the Punishment Sphere!"
Morgan: "I've got your Paradise Dome right here!"
Miriam: "Yes, I can see you've started Ascent to Transcendence all on your own."
Yang: "I really like to Salvage the Unity Core, if you know what I mean…"

A believer comes into a bar and orders 21 glasses of beer.
The bartender asks: "Why do you want 21 glasses of beer, you are all alone?"
Believer: "Yes, that may be so, but the sign on the door says "No alcoholic beverages below 21".

[Major Guz]

A Gaian walks up Mount Planet along a road.
A Spartan drives his Recon Rover up the Mountain backwards towards the Gaian. So the confused Gaian asks him why he does that.
"My girlfriend lives near the top of Mount Planet and because of the Lava there is no room to turn my Rover over there."
It sounded logical and the Gaian walked along.
5 minutes later the Recon Rover comes down the Mountain, again backwards.
"Why are you driving backwards now?", the more confused gaian askes.
"There was enough room to turn my Rover." The Spartan answered

[Kassiopeia]

Must be having a bad day or something, because I don't get it.

[Mr. President]

I don't get it either.

[Major Guz]

Yeah, that's probably because they are german jokes and maybe the translation makes it very unfunny in English, or maybe my English is just not good.

[big_canuk]

The point is a slur against Spartans.

You know:

Why do Spartans drink out of square mugs?

So they don't leave rings on the table!

[Kassiopeia]

Eck. My sense of humour must be on shoreleave or something.

[Adalbertus]

Major Guz, the problem is probably that the Spartan Rover drivers don't have the same infamous reputation as the German Manta drivers.
(An explantation which is internationally probably a bit more available: The Manta driver's girlfriends are always blonde, have the same IQ as their mate, and usually pregnant ...)

[Mr. President]

Don't worry about it MariOne, it's hard to tell jokes on the Internet.
