If you can't come up with a better joke than that, then maybe you shouldn't be telling jokes until you can. (A "popular topic" isn't necessarily a good idea to make jokes about--for example, I could probably make a joke involving the eternally-popular student/mentor build ratio threads. But I'm sure that wouldn't go over well--trust me, I had one written down.)


Even the X robots drive into a bar joke is funnier than the supposed joke used to start this thread.


Or to put it another way: If someone has to read your "joke" multiple times and it's still not obvious you're telling a joke after that, there's a good chance that they'll think you're serious. That's probably what triggered this.

Mods, I think this thread may need to be closed for a while, and maybe someone can try again with a different opening?
