A co-worker once threw the opening line above into an email, as a kind of “complete-the joke” challenge. I thought that Dopers might appreciate a similar challenge. So:
My completion of my co-worker’s line was:
Complete this joke:
The Greek god Zeus, the Egyptian god Horus and the Pope run into each other while out fishing…
The Pope is sitting with his fishing pole, when Horus arrives with a loaf of bread, Zeus who has been fishing for hours, in sudden anger that he hasn’t caught a fish throws a lightening bolt onto the water, where a single fish floats to the surface, horus collects the fish. Looking down at their mediocre meal, the pope remarks “where’s jesus when you need him”
New line, Virgil, Obama and the Dalai Lama meet at comicon
…and your subsequent opening line?
Just edited the post to include it.
Field Marshal Haig, Martin Luther and Ho Chi Min go to a topless bar in London…
Martin Luther says, “I’d like to nail THAT ho to a door”.
Ho Chi Min interjects: “I’m sorry? What did you just say you were going to do to me?”
Haig places his arms around the other men and says, “Gentlemen - how about you two charge the stage, while I stay back here?”
(Sorry - it’s the best I could do with a material at hand).
That’s what she said!
My setup line:
How many raccoons does it take to rig a sailboat?
