A few years ago I had the terrible idea of taking classic jokes and “translating” them into philosophical lingo. Some work has been done in this area on lightbulb jokes but there are so many other kinds of jokes. Some are pretty obvious…like
- Yo mama is so fat, when she sits around the house she sits AROUND the house; in all possible worlds
- Yo mama is so dumb she has the B relation of taking more than an hour to watch 60 minutes
Some are just plain silly,
- Yo mama is so fat she is the truthmaker for ‘your mama is fat’
- If you mow your lawn and find the nonbeing of four cars…you might be a philosopher
- If you go to a psychology conference hoping to meet women…you might be a philosopher
- If someone asks you to fill out a form and you think of Plato…you might be a philosopher
- If you think “it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is” actually was a good defense…you might be a philosopher
Some are just plain ridiculous as in
- Yo mama is so dumb she thinks the transcendental deduction is a tax break for club kids
- Yo mama is so dumb she thinks the T-schema was the code name for the Boston Tea Party
Others?
On an unrelated note, thanks to Netflix I just rewatched Return of the Living Dead II and I realized that whenever I am asked the name of the blog that I contribute to I should say Braaaaaiiiinnnnnsssss!
