When I read the post title, it reminded me of the Monty Python skit of the "World's Funniest Joke", which I recently saw on the web... its so funny, that you die laughing.

It was discovered in 1943 by the British, whose author immediately died. His mom, finding him with what she thought was a suicide note, giggles, laughs, and dies.

After careful construction, the army puts together a German version of the joke which the British cannot understand, but the Germans can... they use it in the Ardennes, and the rest is History. Its the story of how Britain won WWII.

In the skit, you never hear the english version of the joke, but you do hear the German version. I'm curious, if anybody knows, what the translation of the German is... (and if you know and post it, warn readers who may die laughing!)

I also thought of the Monty Python skit when I saw the title of the thread. Unfortunately none of the jokes lived up to the title. The skit was funnier than any of the jokes.

Wenn ist das Nunstuck git und Slotermeyer? Ja! . . . Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

I especially like the part about it being "over 60,000 times as powerful as Britain's great pre-war joke" [shot of Chamberlain making 'peace in our time' speech].
