Disconnected alright.

Reminds me of one of Curly Howard's famous phrases:
"I shoot my arrow in the air
where it goes I do not care,
I buy my arrows wholesale"



>>A guy walks into a store
>>Guy. Quick! give me a green loaf
>>Clerk. Sorry, sir, we only have blue loaves
>>Guy. That's OK, I'm on my bike.

>Wow... I never expected to hear a "disconnected" joke from anyone but my compatriots. We had one comedian who noted the trend towards this sort of disjointed jokes, and actually coined the term "joke without connection" - the "without connection" is a phrase which can apply to anything that either doesn't make sense, or is out of place/context, or just doesn't work in a given context, or just fails any expectations.

>This sort of jokes, I think, came from the lunatic jokes (which my youngest daughter just loves - even though they were popular at least 30 years before she was born). A typical sample of that is
>
>Two lunatics walk through the asylum yard. They see a guy on the ladder, painting a window.
>
>L1: Let's take his ladder and watch him fall!
>
>L2: You nuts? Don't you see he's holding himself to the brush?

>The first disconnected jokes probably had something to do with surrealism, which had a honored tradition since the twenties or so, and was also known to produce short verbal forms - like surrealistic proverbs and such. So...

>Q: What's the difference between a parrot?
>
>A: It's got two legs, specially the left.

>Which later became:

>Q: what's the difference between a college student?
>
>A: drinks better than pays.

>And the ultimate disjointed legend (which I posted once before):
>
>Q: why does the train go faster at night than on the track?
>
>A: because it's colder in winter than outside.
