The universe is kinda kicking my head in right now, anyone got any words to make me smile?
Heh. This is kinda lame, but it's 3am, and this is kinda the only place I can think of to go for some cheering up. By actual humans, as opposed to a website with lots of funny pictures contributed by faceless people (those aren't working any more).
So yeah. Who's got a joke or something?

This joke works 99.987% of the time:
___________________
A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the shepherd... "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?" The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered "sure".
The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it to a cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, received a response. Finally, he prints out a 130-page report on his miniaturized printer then turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep. "That is correct; take one of the sheep." said the shepherd. He watches the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his car.
Then the shepherd says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my animal?", "OK, why not." answered the young man. "Clearly, you are a consultant." said the shepherd. "That's correct." says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?" "No guessing required." answers the shepherd. "You turned up here although nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and you don't know crap about my business...... Now give me back my dog."

How about the cleanest dirty joke I know...
A young boy is at the zoo with his parents. They are looking at the elephants and the boy is staring very hard at an old bull elephant with a quizzical look on his face. Finally he walks over to his mother and asks "Mommy, what's the big long thing on the elephant" to which his mother replies "That's his trunk dear." "No mommy, further back." "That's his tail." "No mommy, up just a little further." Mom gets flustered and tells her son "Ummmm.... that's nothing dear."
The young boy keeps staring at the elephant. Finally he walks over to his father and asks "Daddy, what's the big long thing on the elephant?" "That's his trunk, son." "No daddy, further back." "That's his tail, son." "No daddy, up just a little more. Mommy said it was nothing."
"Son, your mother's been spoiled."

Oh, I forgot you are cryonically challenged down there (and by there I mean 'under').
Yes, most people who grew up in areas with real winters have eaten snow. It's just something you do as a kid. And maybe as a drunken adult :rolleyes: It is actually quite refreshing :D

And yes, snow is a wonderful thing to eat. You don't wanna dig into any old snow -- it's gotta be fresh, and undisturbed. Even an adult can enjoy that simple joy.

Penguins look like they are wearing tuxes. How do you tell if they are not actually wearing tuxes. And y would a penguin wear a tux anyway since it wouldnt make it look any different.

This discussion of the penguin joke reminds me of a joke I used to butcher the hell out of.
When I was in a wedding band, one of the early guitar players (we went through a few) had a favorite joke:
A pair of goldfish are sitting in a tank. One of them looks at the other and asks, "hey, you know how to drive this thing?"
He thought it was the best joke ever, and wouldn't stop telling it. Me, in my typically sarcastic fashion, would occasionally tell the joke onstage, except I would change the wording so that it made absolutely no sense. The drummer would do one of the bah-dom-ching punchline hits, and everyone in the audience would have a blank, confused glaze over their eyes, while me and the drummer laughed inside.

It's not a joke you can explain. I don't even know why it's funny. But to paraphrase Garrison Keillor (who I stole the joke from), I suppose it's funny because people laugh.

Yeah, but you only say that cuz you're not really familiar with snow. In an urban environment, it gets gross, really quickly. That's why you gotta eat it fresh, while it's all powdery and pure.

I was on a trip to the mountains at an Oregon Summer School with a bunch of foreign exchange students from Japan.
They had never seen snow before.
When they saw snow, they were so excited and tried to bring it home with them in containers and empty water bottles.
I didn't have the heart to tell them it is frozen water and would melt...
