Reminds me of a character in a Terry Pratchett novel who was searching for the Fountain of Youth, but is next seen in the afterlife. It turned out that he did find the Fountain of Youth, but didn't think to boil the water...DaveC426913 said:

I feel vindicated in my love of dad jokes because I discovered that Curt Smith apparently does them. And he's a rock star, so they must be cool, right?davenn said:

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C.; one from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third, from Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
"Done!" replies the government official.

Why did you pick the White House, and those three states in particular? Are you Russian maybe?phinds said:Why? Corruption is non-partisan / bipartisan
Oh crap, the humor could be fun, but this subthread needs to be deleted before we all get into trouble. Let's all repost this on our Twitter feeds, and this thread will self-distruct in 90 seconds... 90, 89, 88..

I read an article yesterday titled "Times Americans Proved They Were Clueless". It was hilarious, however, I didn't dare to post it here. After that, I read an interview with Rick Steves about Americans in Germany. That was funny, too.

Americans in Germany aren't exotic. I checked an old (2017) data sheet and found 250 Americans are registered in my hometown alone. It's rather more than less now. Germany became quite attractive to Americans a couple of years ago.berkeman said:
