A hiker comes along a meadow where a farmer is milking a cow. He asks the farmer to tell him the time. The farmer stops milking, lifts the udders, takes a close look at them and replies: four o'clock.
The next day the same procedure: the farmer stops milking, lifts the udders, takes a close look and replies: 4.15.
The third day again the same procedure: the farmer stops milking, lifts the udders, takes a close look and replies: 3.50.
Now the hiker cannot hold it anymore. He asks the farmer how in the world he could tell the time by weighing the udders? What is so special with the cow?
Nothing, answers the farmer, but if I lift the udders I can see the clocktower of our church.

Yes, that's a problem. But I've heard you can visit the franchise on Mars if you use the "allow ferries" option in the setup to manage the Martian canals.mfb said:

A clown was walking down a riverbank when he came upon a nun trapped by rising water in the middle.
"Sister!" he called. "Let me help! I can carry you across this river!"
"Thank you, kind clown, but no!" she called back.
"But, Sister! You're trapped there!"
"Yes, but a nun being carried by a clown? It would be virgin on the ridiculous!"

I don't understand. In my area most nuns aren't really virgins anymore.Ibix said:

Something that is "verging on the ridiculous" is something really silly, on the verge of being outright ridiculous. Substituting "virgin" is a fairly common pun, although usually about Richard Branson's companies.Pepper Mint said:
