Current favourite jokes

[Richard Barrett]

The two points you raise might be considered under a heading of how, contrary to Friedrich Hayek's disproven "trickle down" economic theory of minimal state intervention, ("We told them so!!!") ideological dissemination (some might say insemination) percolates from the top social orders through compliant lower orders, the intellectual worker ants of the nest by multiple pathways that there is as yet no Higgs Boson theory devised for lining up the various interconnected disciplines by which we are able to understand how society and history work. This emblematises the fragmented nature of the whole; the cutting of subsidies in these disciplines a convenient scapegoat in times when the "readies" are not to hand, and education is rejigged to cater to the effective demise of careers whose longevity and hence vanishing prospects for a decent company/professional loyalty-securing pension at the end find expression in Corbyn's support among today's young. The decentralised character of the system overall makes putting the blame on the few difficult, since they can rightly claim an inability to be in and of every decision made in the operations thereof, and underlings are made to take the punishments when, usually far too late, the errors from which lessons might otherwise prove capable of permanent rectification enactment are uncovered.

This joke is missing a punchline.

Surely S_A is simply aware of the possibility of offending others by the use of such an insensitive inclusion ... ?

In the meantime, I suspect that it we don't ensure a rapid return to Current favourite jokes here, some moderatorial adminition might be forthcoming!

Actually, just because you can't spot the punchline, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Is that your final edited response, S_A ... ?

Tbf (to me!) it wasn't actually myself who claimed there was no punchline ... I simply responded in a way I considered appropriate to a joke thread!

Yes - second thoughts, sorry.

I'd appreciated that.

Ahem. How many Marxists does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, the seeds of revolution and change are within the light bulb itself.

Funny that, the revolutionary bulb in our living room has just failed and I've now had to search for a filthy capitalist one in the cupboard of enlightenment ...

Talking of filthy capitalists, Alec Baldwin has been receiving many, deserved, plaudits for his Trump impersonations. However I was in stitches at John Culshaw's The Donald last night on Radio 4's 'Dead Ringers' - scarily funny.

Does this apply also to LED bulbs?

No, just glass ones, I imagine! You'd be plumbing the depths using LED ones!

I can concede that this might be the case at least in terms of "the seeds of revolution and change" in the sense that LED bulbs are designed so as to require far less frequent changes than what used to be "conventional" ones...

Those crafty capitalists, eh - pretending they too have to live in the same sustainable environment as the rest of us!
