Why do Marxists only drink herbal tea? Because proper tea is theft.

Edit: Apparently the quote is from Proudhon, and Marx initially agreed but later criticised the sentiment as self-refuting. But "Marxists" is snappier than "devotees of Proudhon".
Monty Proudhon? ( I'll see myself out).

I remember someone who pronounced 'Hume' as ' whom'. Confusing lectures. In addition to ' So crates' instead of Socrates.

As long as you don't pronounce Sosogenes as "sausage knees". Or "so-so jeans".

That was my suspicion, too. And I guess the device can be found on the other side of the road.

It sure does. And speaking of the Rolling Stones, did you hear about the crazy guy who jumped on stage at one of their concerts and tried to kill both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards with a frozen chicken?

Turns out he wasn't crazy at all, he was trying to test his hypothesis that you could kill two stones with one bird.
