Jokes

Before I jump into the homework, I had a bit of a revelation (well, just recollection actually).

We kept bringing up jokes in class, but I really couldn't think of any examples of this at the time.

But just a month or so ago there was a "South Park" episode that described the impact and travels of a single joke.

Obviously, the "Fish Stick" joke becomes incredibly overblown and ridiculous, but it is interesting to see this portrayed. As an added bonus, after the episode just about everyone in the group that frequently watches "South Park" began reciting the joke. Not because the joke is extremely funny, because it isn't, but because of the hilarity that ensued on the program made the viewer anxious to repeat it.
