I'm gonna make a pun off the thread title and say it's my sense of humor. I can make a joke out of just about anything, and usually do. I probably crack about 10-30 jokes a day. Here's one I learned recently that I've got to rehearse to memorize:
So a conference of philosophers from around the world is meeting for their annual quorum when an alien ship shows up and hovers above the building. It shines a great white light down on the building and a booming voice comes out of it. The voice announces that humanity has been selected for a great gift, in one week's time the alien ship will return and humanity may ask of it one question, to which the aliens will give one answer that is completely true. The ship leaves and the philosophers turn to each other. They're honoured, of course, but they know they have to give the perfect question to the aliens, this is a priceless opportunity after all. After debating for most of the week, they realize they are no closer than when they started. After all, what if they ask a question like "What is the meaning of life?" and it turns out the answer is something bland or ordinary? Finally, the head of the conference puts together a question that the assembly accepts. Proudly, when the aliens return, he asks them:
"What is the two-element set consisting of, as its first element, the ideal question to ask and, as its second element, the answer to that question?"
The sound of hands clapping together resounds through the alien speaker as the alien announces "Excellent! Here you go: The two element set consisting of, as its first element, the ideal question to ask and, as its second element, the answer to that question is: The first element is the question 'What is the two element set consisting of, as its first element, the ideal question to ask and, as its second element, the answer to that question?'. The second element of the set is the answer 'What is the two element set consisting of, as its first element, the ideal question to ask and, as its second element, the answer to that question?'". The ship then warps away, never to be seen or heard from again.
Thanks for listening.
