My nerdiest joke:
Erwin Schroedinger, Kurt Goedel, and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar. Schroedinger goes, “wait a second, I think we may be in a joke. I wish we could tell if it was funny.” Goedel goes, “we’re in the joke; it’s mathematically impossible for us to tell if the joke is funny from the inside.” Chomsky responds, “Of course it’s funny, you’re just telling it wrong.”
@ernieyeball: If it had been on one of the real old Volkswagen Bugs and shot from a slightly different angle I bet you would have had no difficulty.
It wasn’t until I identified what type of car it was that I caught the joke.
@grumpy realist:..If it had been on one of the real old Volkswagen Bugs and shot from a slightly different angle I bet you would have had no difficulty.
Thank you for your solace. However it would be more aptly directed at Laura Bassett.
As I read Franklin’s 10:19 post (…the one that has the word bug in it…) I said to myself: “That’s not an original bug. The tail lights are too big!”
I still didn’t get it.
I call it brain rot. At 67 I live with it every day. It bugs me to death…
@ernieyeball: Sorry, I didn’t mean the *very* original one, I was just loosely referring to old vs. new Beetles. Heh.
Anyway, I presume your avatar is from Michigan. Are you also a Great Lake State dweller?
I am counting a Great Lake State as one of the eight Nifty Fifty that has borders defined by one of the five Great Lakes.
In my youth I lived on the shores of Lake Ontario enduring 12 brutal winters in Rochester NY. I have traveled US Route 20 along the beaches of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania and Ohio in the ’50s before the Interstates were built.
The Indiana Dunes were a great place to drink and try to pick up girls when I was in High School.
IL, IN, MI, NY, OH and WI are 6 of the 14 states I visited to ply my trade in the landline telephone industry.
So yeah, I have spent my fair share of time in the region.
Today I live in Illinois a good 300 miles south of that summer playground.
That’s fine with me.
Especially in the winter as I see reports of lake effect snow or the New York State Thruway closed at Buffalo.
While it’s not really old, it’s a 74, built in early September 73, one of the first off the floor near as I could tell from the VIN.
How do I know? It’s my car.
