Reply to An actual joke that was told by Jews during World War II by hraeswelg

I remember reading victor Frankel's book and he told about this artist who survived the holocaust. He saw a funeral and started laughing hysterically, when being asked why he was laughing he replied "all that hooplah over a single corpse". That made me laugh and also feel morbid.

Reply to An actor was on stage playing Macbeth... by Ripcord2

They say that if you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, one of them would, by accident, type out the complete works of Shakespeare.

This joke? Three monkeys, three typewriters, ten minutes.

Reply to comment by Nonner_Party in Last night I had a dream that I was weightless.. by Response-Cheap

Weight is determined by multiplying mass by gravity. So if mass is 0, weight must also always be 0. The converse isn't necessarily true, though, because you could be weightless, but still have mass as long as gravity is 0. But actually, this is technically impossible, since the gravitational force is diminished over distance but still never reaches exactly 0. However the 0 may not mean an absence of gravitational forces, but the net force of all of them being 0. This too seems only possible in theory, though. So if something is truly weghtless in nature, the mass must be 0. But this isn't about nature; the joke refers to a dream where the laws of physics don't really apply anyway. And the word "weightless" usually refers to gravity not being able to be felt, not actually a force of 0. So in conclusion, I ruined the joke.

Reply to An actual joke that was told by Jews during World War II by hraeswelg

Here's another joke that was popular during the war:

At 9:30 last night, a Jew in Poland killed an SS officer, cut out his heart and ate it. Why is this story untrue?

For three reasons. An SS officer has no heart, Jews do not eat pork, and at 9:30 at night everyone in Poland is listening to the BBC anyway.
