“Higher education=FAIL”

I agree. Your post reminds me of one of my favorite Monty Python skits, “The Funniest Joke in the World,” where a joke writer composes a joke so funny that anyone who hears it dies laughing. It was used to launch “joke warfare” against the Germans.

The funny part was when the narrator declares that the new joke was vastly superior than Britain’s pre-war joke, and they cut to the clip of Chamberlain waving around his scrap of paper. I saw the humor and thought it hilarious, to the extent anything about Munich was funny.

Today, because of our crappy educational system, how many people under 25 would get the joke?
