On the old board I made a topic of the old saw from The Office, “that’s what she said.” When I read it the next day I was embarrassed about how lame it was, especially since The Office first aired in 2006. Is anyone not sick of this joke? What can I say, I didn’t watch the show much when it first came out, and I just recently watched if from the beginning.

Anyway, sitting her by myself for 4 months all by myself, sans the weekly visit from my brother where we “quaff a few root beers”, I came up with a variation. Not one to be funny, necessarily, but to be clever.

The only example I have is one I have stolen from a fellow poster here, sorry I can’t remember who. But Trump’s comment about how if we test more that means we will have more cases. And this poster said, “Schrodinger’s virus”

So here is the joke-

Someone brings up Trump’s statement about testing for COVID, and you say, say it with me-

That’s what Schrodinger said.

I say. Let’s put Trump in the box with an atomic particle and seal it up.  
If any one asks just play dumb.  
Don’t even give it one thought.

BTW, “that’s what she said” goes back A WHOLE LOT further than 2006. I remember hearing it in the 70s, and it was just as lame then.

@burpo_the_wonder_mutt, what Jesus do, though?
