It's a joke. I use the word 'joke' very loosely. If you google it, you'll see that dios has been posting it all over the damn place.

I smiled at the rimshot at the end of that bit, even if I saw it coming. But the rest of that thread is a perfect example of the dumbth that has overcome Metafilter. Did Fark let out early this week, or am I just noticing more trainwreck threads because they irk me so?

See, I read the beginning and end to that joke but skipped the middle. I think it's better that way.

That, my friends, is the epitome of the shaggy dog story: A very long and drawn-out narrative that leads to a real groaner of a punch line. Well done.

Oh that's an oooooold one. I remember my dad telling me a variation.

The northern Swedish variation has a Sami, a Finn and a bear in it.

Canadians use a Mountie, a moose and a beaver.

As a matter of fact, you can begin just about any Canadian joke with "A Mountie, a moose and a beaver..."

Dios is growing up, or has a girlfriend or something. Probably or something. Maybe I'm just getting used to it.
