I’m a good chess teacher though. I’m so good I get beat by 4th and 5th graders on a fairly regular basis. :smack:
A friend and I were sitting in an outdoor cafe, and he was making a reference to a nearby hedge. The conversation then turned to how one distinguishes between a hedge and a bush, to which I replied “hedges have edges, and bushes are round…”. We both thought it was clever (and, strangely, hilarious) at the time.
“How many surrealist does it take to change a light bulb?”
“The fish”
Semper ubi sub ubi.
What do you get if you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber?

The Great Flood is over and Noah’s ark has settled into dry earth. Noah tells the animals to “Go forth and multiply!”.
A few months later while Noah is taking a walk he notices that all the animals have babies save one pair of small snakes. The snakes say to Noah, “Please, cut down some trees for us.”
Noah cuts down a couple trees and goes back home wondering why the snakes made such a strange request. A couple weeks later his curiosity gets the better of him and he goes out to find the snakes with lots of little baby snakes. “What happened?” asks Noah.
“We’re adders,” the snakes say. “So we need logs to multiply.”
