> [@Double\_Foolscap](#): > > My favourite joke is one that’s more funny in hindsight. During his Correspondents Dinner speech, Seth Meyers made a joke about bin Laden hiding on C-Span between 4 and 5 (he tells it better). > > Obama’s got the _biggest_ shit eating grin on his face at that point, like he’s thinking, “Boy, is that joke going to be outdated real fast.” I still do not understand how Obama maintained his poker face during that dinner. You’d have no idea he is thinking about the upcoming raid, which he must have been. ---

Why did Osama cross the road? _'Cause it goes to Pakistan where they had a mansion waiting for him_ How many Osamas does it take to change a light bulb? _None the Pakistanis gave him servants to do this for him_ A priest, a rabbi and Osama walk into a bar, and the bartender says, I can’t serve Osama as he’s a Muslim so you go back to Pakistan and live in your mansion ---

**Rhythmdvl** , it’s Ned Beatty as Otis, the bumbling assistant to Lex Luthor in the first (1970s) Superman movie. The first time we see Otis or Luthor, Luthor has sent Otis off on an errand, and a pair of detectives follow the utterly clueless Otis back\* to Luthor’s comfortable lair in the middle of town. \*Well, most of the way back. :eek: ---
