This popsicle stick joke makes no sense to me

Well, it’s just like my dad used to say . . . you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish.

What’s brown and runny?

Carl Lewis

I’m pretty sure it’s an ocarina.

I don’t know where I was in 2007, but God bless the spammer who resurrected this thread. I’ve been telling these jokes to my husband and laughing like an idiot.

Just today, I got three Popsicle Sticks in a row with the same joke:


What do you call a robot with no job?

Your link was all weird and sketchy… (I broke it in my quote)

Probably because it’s over 4 years old.

I know this is an old thread but damnit that’s funny.

What’s brown and sticky?

Feces.

What’s greyish-white and sticky?

BRRRRRRAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSS!

What do you call a robot with no job?

Windows Vista.

Google “Clint the Hamster Triumphant”

Yeah, sorry, I no longer even remember what that link said.

Lucas didn’t coin the word. It was in use long before Star Wars. Here’s the earliest cite given in OED, from Worlds of If science fiction magazine:

Still, even that is a lot of coffee. :wink:

I read the op, didn’t notice the date, and thought “of course they are the same, they’re not made by hand!”. Then I scrolled down and saw myself make that same comment four years ago. Whoa.

Wow…that had to have been freaky.
The closest I ever came to that was a thread that I forgot I wrote in and saw my own comment and couldn’t for the life of me remember where I had heard it before (I rarely look at the username first) then I realized it was me.

I’ve several times read a post, thought either “That sounds like something I would say,” or “I wish I’d said that,” only to look over at the attribution to find out that I did.

Whereas I read the OP, didn’t notice the date, and thought “clearly Indistinguishable’s answer is the correct explanation”. Then I scrolled down and saw myself make that same comment too. At least we’re consistent!
