Someone sent me this joke from the Saturday Independent, and maybe it’s still early for me or it could be the glimmerings of a cold, but I don’t get it:
I have the feeling I’m going to be very embarrassed when someone replies. Maybe I’ll just post a preemptive :smack:.
Here’s your answer
Either it’s surrealism (M follows A for no discernable reason except humor,) or it’s existentialism (everything depends on individual action, therefore, existentialism means whatever you say it means.)
DID NOT read it there first!!!
[sub]It was the first sig line I had when I signed up on the SDMB in May of 2000…well, mine was actually “The thing about a duck is, one of it’s legs are both the same”, but close enough[/sub]
I WAS ROBBED!!! 
[sub]Do you suppose I could get them to pay me royalties?[/sub]
My friend says she heard it this way in high school:
Why is a rat when it swims?
Because one of its ears is both the same.I got a chance to do some Googling, and I see it’s been around for a long, long time. Thanks, all.

My high-school surrealist joke was:
Q: How much is a battleship?
A: A banana this colour… ::hold hands a foot or so apart::
Grim
How many pancakes does it take to shingle a doghouse?
Blue, because ice cream has no bones.
Ours was:
Q: What’s thew difference between an orange?
A: A horse, because a vest has no sleeves.

My dog’s got no dictionary.
How does he spell terrible?
TheLoadedDog, reminds me of Hitler’s favorite joke (as done by those Python boys) :
Man: “My dog has no nose!”
Other Man: “How does he smell?!”
Man: “Bad!”
I’ve posted this before, somewhere else, but I just couldn’t resist
Its a jab at the poor duck, who has no penis.
Poor duck.
We had a duck once. The rooster used to rape it, even if it was a male. To this day, I’m not sure if the rooster was gay, or the structured life in the barnyard made him think he was incarcerated.
What was the question?
The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.
NoClueBoy ( ) , it’s meant to.
My dad told me the duck joke when I was about five. “It’s back-left leg is both the same.”
Sheesh…and I thought I was being SO original!
I saw that quote, the one I made my sig line, on a restroom wall in a kind of “funky” restaurant zillions of years ago…and it tickled me. I repeated it to my friends, and they had never heard it before and thought it was hilarious!!!
So, when I signed up here, I just thought…“Heh, now I can actually USE that unique and funny/weird quote”…just goes to show what a sheltered life I lead!
No soap, radio?
