Tijdens het surfen belandde ik op deze pagina. Omdat ik nu eenmaal niks beters te doen heb (behalve misschien Blogthings invullen) las ik de pagina (niet helemaal, neen) en herkende ik ergens halverwege één van mijn lievelingsmopjes.
How do you put an elephant in the fridge?
Open the door, and put him in.
How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?
Open the door, get the elephant out, put the giraffe in and close the door.
There was a party, in which all animals participated save one – which animal was it?
The giraffe. It’s in the fridge.
As you are going home to let the giraffe out of the fridge, you come to a river in Africa. There is a sign that says, DANGER, ALLIGATORS. There is no boat, and no bridge. How do you get across?
Just swim across. The alligators are all at the party.
Dat vind ik nog altijd een hele goeie. (Ik wéét dat ik een vreemd gevoel voor humor heb.)
Wat mij wel interesseerde was wat eronder stond, aangevuld door mensen die blijkbaar ook niks anders te doen hadden, maar wel een zeer interessante bijdrage aan het onderwerp leverden.
Actually…
This is a quotation from an actual study in communications that was done by some researchers a while ago. The point of the line of questioning was that 5 and 6 year olds could understand questions and retrain conditions and facts better than adults.
Actually Actually… You’re all good at the river in Africa, because There Are No Alligators In Africa. Just crocodiles.
Actually Actually Actually… Whoever wrote the sign would have been wrong, sure. That should be some consolation while you’re getting eaten by crocodiles.
SOMEONE missed the point. There are no crocodiles either. Every animal (which includes all alligators AND crocodiles) is at the party, save for the giraffe, who is in the fridge.
Aaah, pointless discussions and how they are going absolutely nowhere. Love it.
De site vanwaar ik op die pagina belandde is zo mogelijk nog interessanter, verslavender en grappiger. Ooit gehoord van Uncyclopedia? Zeker eens bekijken. Hoe meer artikels je leest, hoe moeilijker je er weg raakt.
Tot slot nog deze leuke wist-je-datjes, uit het archief van Uncyclopedia, het ene al droger dan het andere. Enjoy!
