I want to throw some contests out there, but it'd be nice if the competitions actually had some value outside of actually getting prizes. Let's make the world a happier place with a Joke Telling Competition!
It's hard to rank jokes, so you'll just have to trust me to be a fair and impartial judge I suppose. On the bright side, even if you don't win a prize, you'll probably get a laugh!
So here's how I'll do this: At least once every 10 pages, I will award a prize item for the best joke. This will max out at 100 pages if we can even hit that high. You can throw in as many jokes as you like! You can win multiple times. And sometimes, if jokes are particularly good, I'll throw an extra prize in there for good measure. The closer to 100 pages we get, the higher value the prizes will be!
heartI would like to thank MinnieMixie for her kind donation of the majority of the prizes. She recently gifted me a fortune of gaia stuff to hand out to you guys so if you see her around, be sure to be extra nice to her because she's pretty bomb.
Rules:
Rules suck and are boring. So just don't do anything to intentionally elongate the posts so that we get through pages more quickly, and only one joke per post and let's leave it at that.
Have fun and happy joking!

Okay okay I'll start us off.
A photon checks into a hotel and is asked if he needs any help with his luggage. “No thanks," he says, "I’m traveling light.”
BADUM TSHHHHH!!!

In the vein of science/math jokes, one that always makes me chuckle for some silly reason:
A mathematician, a biologist, and a physicist are sitting in a café watching people on the street when a house across the way catches their attention. First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while they observe three people leaving the house.
The physicist mutters, "The measurement must not have been accurate." The biologist explains, "They have reproduced." The mathematician says, "If one more person goes into that house, then it will be empty again."

This exchange is, like, some kind of internet-based Manzai, and I'm a little bit in love with it?
I cannot tell you how excited I was that I read your response before I looked at your avatar, so that I got treated to a perfectly-timed mental "BA-dum TSSSSH!"
In short, I agree that this thread was a fantastic idea.

A few buddies and I walked into a bar. The bartender asked, "Why are you guys walking around with weapons?" "Mimics," was our reply. The bartender laughed. The group laughed. The table laughed. We killed the table. It was a good time.
