All Jokes quantified...

I used to work for a guy who said that there was only about 1200 jokes in the world, all the others being just variations on those, if you broke them down into the thing that makes them funny. Case in point, this one would probably be lumped into "curiosity killed the cat" - Please note, the way I first heard this joke, the fence was around an exercise yard for a mental institution. But I guess that doesn't work anymore, what with all the government cutbacks on intstitutional funding.

Joke #1232

A man is walking along the road, when he hears someone shouting
"Twelve! Twelve!" over a fence.

As he walks around the corner, they are now shouting "Thirteen! Thirteen!"

Curious, the man looks through a knothole in the fence. Suddenly
he's poked in the eye by a man on the other side, and as he writhes in agony, the man hears "Fourteen! Fourteen!"

I get it, tarrifs, rising cost of labor, insurance, yada yada yada. The total was about $225 - I have bought cars for less than than! Not very good cars, I'm just saying. What really grinds my gears though was the blatant lie at the very bottom of the reciept; Low prices You Can Trust. Every Day. A better tagline might be We know, everything is expensive, it's not just us. Maybe put the oreos back? To which I might reply: I got your creme filling right here, Buddy.
