I'll hazard a guess that you are referring to Ambassador Kosh from the Babylon 5 series, IMHO one of, if not the best, science fiction show ever put out on the air-waves.

Q:Why did the Believer Chaos 'chopper crash?
A: The pilot felt cold, so he turned the air conditioning off

I've heard that one before.
It is nice to find something that Finns and Norwegians can agree on.
Those wacky Swedes...

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
-H. L. Mencken
Four University engineers are trolling over the fungus on a rover when the vehicle suddenly stops. Each one of them gives their suggestion about the problem:
The mechanical engineer: "maybe it's a problem with the gear box".
The chemical engineer: "I disagree. It has to be something related to the fuel composition".
The electrical engineer: "No, no, no... The battery is low".
And the computing engineer: "What if we get out of the rover and then get in it again?"
I know, that's just a regular knock-knock joke translated into Progenitor-translation. And it's only funny if you have an Australian accent. I'll just go away now.

Two Hive citizens are walking to the feeding bay, using their allocated free time, one thinks up a joke. He turns to the other worker and begins-
Citizen A: Hey did you hear the one about...
Citizen B: [interrupts] NO, and you didn't either! [looks around, paranoid]

ok Her is my humble atempt at a Crashing Neddle Jet joke
Lal, Morgan and Yang are in a Crashing Needle Jet with only 2 Parachutes. Lal says "we must deside who will live in a fair and democratic manor" to witch Yang responds "You are a pusilanimous Wimp Lal and I will not be bound by your idiotic democracy". Yang then rushes over and grabs a parachute and begins putting it on and yells "do not try to interfere" and then jumps, his parachute opens flawlessly and he gently desends to earth ware he is sucked into a Recyling tank air inlet and prematurly becomes one with all the people. Back in the Jet Morgan turns to Lal and says "I am the wealthiest and wisest man on Planet I should be alowed to take the last parachute". Lal says "This is true my friend you are indeed great and wise and are deserving of the last parachute, but I fear you would be missing an excelent buisness oportunity in doing so". Morgan's eyes grow large and as he begins to salivate he asks "what oportunity would that be". Lal responds "why perchasing from me this high tec parachute made of super tensile solids, guaranteed never to fail, I could let you have it for a mear 1200 Energy Credits and your files on Digital Sentience". "Excelent I will except your porposal" says Morgan, he takes the sack from Lal puts it on, Lal puts on the last parachute. They jump together and Morgan pulls his cord first and watches in dismay as a dozen dirty turbines come out of the pack and fly away. Morgan screams "That was your Dirty Laundry you sold me! I demand a Refund!!". Lal retorts "Sorry CEO Satisfaction is Not Guarenteed" and pulls his own cord. Morgan plumets into a Fungal Bloom witch amazingly cushens his fall only to leave him to be devoured by Mind worms that had lost their homes when a Morganic BoreHole was Built. Lal desend safly in Peacekeeper territory and is picked up by a terraforming crew. The End.
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche
