It's great to see television poking fun at the left for a change.

Jacob said...

That's the worst canned laughter I've heard since M*A*S*H finally went off air.

Shameless self endorsement: check out my post on it. I'm so funny!

Just where is your sense of humor, Jacob?

We conservatives get Left wing humor thrown at us constantly. Are Liberals humorless... Like Muslims?

Jacob said...

Erm... okayyy.

It's not that I'm humourless, it's just that the show is really crap. Sorry, but it was.

As for the Muslim comment: wtf?

There's almost a billion Muslims in the world - what makes you think they are all exactly alike?

SkyePuppy said...

Jacob,

Yes, there are a billion Muslims in the world, and most of them are humorless. The Americanized ones have a sense of humor, because that's part of the citizenship process. All the rest have serious remedial-humor needs.

Malott said...

Pupster,

Glad to hear humor is on the test.

Jacob said...

I didn't know that you've lived in an Arab country and personally met every single Muslim there!!

Wow!

You're so amazing, Skye.

...

On an entirely different note, every single American is fat and obnoxious. Except for the Australianised ones, who are svelte and agreeable.

Jacob said...

Sorry, I had to make fun of this comment too.

The Americanized ones have a sense of humor, because that's part of the citizenship process.

Muslim immigrant: yes, hello. I would very much like to apply for American citizenship.

Clerk: that should be fine. Can I see your ID and other documents?

...

Clerk: okay. You should fill in this form and we'll get back to you in due time.

MI: thank you very much.

Clerk: Oh! One last thing Mr. Nasif, could you please pull my finger?

MI: ...?

Clerk: just pull my finger.

...

Clerk: HAHAHAH LOLZ!!! I GOT YOU!!

Muslim immigrant: what the hell was that for?

Clerk: Hm, it seems that you have no sense of humour. I'll have that form back please, AND I'll have to revoke your visa. You'll receive your deportation notice in three to four hours.

Thank you! Next, please.

Jacob,

I'm trying to figure out if you're a non-Americanized Muslim. I think you got the immigration & deportation process down perfectly, though.

And, yes, I have met every single Muslim. How else would I know???

Jacob said...

I'm trying to figure out if you're a non-Americanized Muslim.

I'm an Australian atheist. It's pretty much the same as an American atheist, except less people hate us.

SkyePuppy said...

Jacob,

It was a veiled (not thinly enough)reference to your impaired-humor (or rather, impaired-humor-that-resonates-with-me) condition.

It's fun to bend your wookie once in a while (I hope I didn't just say something obscene)...

Malott said...

Skyepuupy,

I'm going out on a limb to say you're not the first.

Obscene? I don't even want to know.

Jacob said...

Bent My Wookie is a reference to the Simpsons.

Ralph Wiggum: *trips, breaks his Chewbacca action figure* I bent my wookie!

But yes, part of the appeal of the name is that it sounds dirty. And this fact never ceases to amuse me.

And yes I did get the reference to my humour, I just wanted to humour you. (no pun intended)

SkyePuppy said...

Jacob,

I'm glad you chose that quote from Ralph. The one where he says, "Doc says I won't get so many nosebleeds if I keep my finger out of there," would probably be a bad image for you.

BTW, I really do like your immigration scenario. Classic.
