‘We Are Stronger’: Atheists To Hold Massive Rally On National Mall Next Month

145. I'm sorry!

My reply had the same intent. It's a bad joke, working on the spurious conclusion that someone who doesn't believe in god doesn't believe in anything.

And now that I've explained it, it's even less amusing. So as a consolation prize, I will tell you my favorite joke (today):

A man new to hunting goes duck hunting. As he's approaching the water he sees a duck in the air, fires, and amazingly, hits it. It drops on the far side of a fence near a farm house.

As the man is climbing over the fence to retrieve the duck, the farmer comes out of his house, yelling.

"What in the hell do you think you're doing?" asks the farmer.

"That's the first duck I've ever shot," replies the hunter, "I'm coming to get it."

"Nope," says the farmer. "That duck landed on my land. It's my duck."

The argument continued in that vein until finally the farmer says, "All right. You want the duck? We'll settle this country style. We're gonna kick each other in the balls until one of us quits. I start. You ready?"

"All right," says the hunter, and with that the farmer takes a running start and kicks the hunter in the crotch so hard that he's lifted off the ground. After several minutes of writhing in pain, the hunter shakes it off, and stands up."

"Okay, you bastard, now it's my turn," says the hunter.

"Nah," says the farmer. "You keep the duck."

I would also add that this joke is a virtual metaphor for President Obama's negotiation technique with the Republicans. Have a nice day!
