You shouldn't observe entangled mom/dad jokes, they probably want some privacy.

Well, they have their uncertainties to gain some privacy. Btw is it correct that a joke is only one coordinate of the punchline invariant four yawn-laughter vector?
 
  • #2,943
Jokes are certainly not punchline-invariant, they only work with certain punchline frames.

I'm not sure about the vector you propose here.

I swear I was staring at the image in confusion and scratching my head for a full 20 minutes or so. But once I got one, the other followed almost immediately.
