The 2-crows-on-a-branch-one is killer.

[QUOTE=jasong;351669]4 Europeans were watching a performer on a street corner. In order, it was an Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spanish dude and a German. They were loudly complaining that they couldn't see what he was doing, so the performer jumped up on a wooden box and asked,"Can you see me now?"

They responded by saying "Yes." "Oui." "Ci." "Ja."

(For those who don't get the joke, repeat the words in order while thinking how it would sound to an English speaker)[/QUOTE]

I comprends el Witz, it's the echo that has me (et señor chappy) verblüfft.

Wasn't it somewheres on this forum that someone posted a picture that cleverly made the crow joke? I remember laughing mightily.

What gets me about the "highbrow" jokes is number 7, which you inevitably see on these lists and is inevitably told wrong. The answer cannot be "a fish" or indeed any single thing. It must be something like (the already much funnier) "bathtub full of power tools." Random nouns aren't funny (or surrealist) and you never get an Hegelian dialectic with just "fish." You just Kant do it.

I retract my previous statement. Also, it is much funnier when read with an outrageous accent.

I was sure that was the case, and went looking for it. How I missed it is beyond me. I found the photo elsewhere and added text to it.

Allegedly, due to previous conversations, I thought you were literally being a jerk to me.

I literally refuse to dignify such scurrilous allegations with an alleged response.
