Swiss cheese has holes.
More cheese means more holes.
More holes means less cheese.
Ergo: More cheese is less cheese.
I think there's a hole in your logic. :oldbiggrin:

The fun part is to locate it. Maybe it should have been a science joke.

Trivial. There are several holes. I highlighted them for convenience:
Swiss cheese has holes[/color].
More cheese means more holes[/color].
More holes[/color] means less cheese.
Ergo: More cheese is less cheese.

"Anti-Jokes" For some reason I find these lamely hilarious:

A horse walks into a bar. Several people got up and left as they realized the potential danger in this situation.

You mama so fat, she should be concerned because obesity is a serious problem.

A man walks into a bar. His alcohol dependency is tearing his family apart.

"Knock knock?"
"Who's there?"
"It's the police. There's been a terrible accident."

Why is 6 afraid of 7? It isn't. Numbers are insentient and thus incapable of feeling fear.

Don't drink and drive? Says who? Look at me drinking this whole bottle of water and then drive to the workplace.

20 minutes later:

I shouldn't have done that. I'm stuck in this traffic congestion and I really need to go to the bathroom now.

...which reminds me of the venerable law firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe.

(Once upon a time I belonged to a professional organization, two of whose officers were named Dewey and Cheatham!)
