Great Castro joke!

Fidel dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there, St. Peter tells him that he is not on the list and that no way, no how, does he belong in heaven. Fidel must go to hell.
So Fidel goes to hell where Satan gives him a hearty welcome and tells him to make himself at home.
Then Fidel notices that he left his luggage in heaven and tells Satan, who says, "No hay problema, I'll send a couple of little devils to get your stuff."
When the little devils get to heaven they find the gates are locked - St.Peter is having lunch - and they start debating what to do.
Finally, one comes up with the idea that they should go over the wall and get the luggage.
As they are climbing the wall, two little angels see them, and one angel says to the other, "My goodness! Fidel has been in hell no more than ten minutes and we're already getting refugees!"


OOC: No, I didn't make it up, I found it online. ;)

I despair for your tastes in literature. Either that or you could just be fucking stupid. But I won't make that judgement quite yet.

Blazing Saddles style or the good sort? (and you are fucking stupid if you can't work that out)

The literature reference is about Terry Pratchett, and the fact that there is no IC in General, so OOC is pointless.

I'd have thought that after 1000 posts in the same style, someone would've noticed that I flame or borderline flame damn near everyone I disagree with.

Must do better.

There was also a joke in there, for Terry Pratchett fans. A pisspoor joke, admittedly, but since when the hell was I funny?

You must admit that the 'Ook' reference was somewhat obscure. When I saw 'OOC' quoted I just thought "Why the hell is he OOCing in General?", rather than a direct reference to the Librarian.

YOU HAVE BEEN SMITED.

So? Most of the things we generalites say is absurd! But to call someone "fucking stupid" for it, is, well, Flamey.

Maybe. Sometimes, I just assume that everyone is as great as me, and that way I can try and drag the world up a few notches.

I know that, but I don't know what the "Nice Monkey, Nice Monkey" has to do with OOC or Terry Pratchett.

I don't even know what he means by the Blazing Saddles sort of flamer, and I have the DVD.

EDIT: Nevermind on the Terry Pratchett part. Slow poster.

Librarian. Is an ape. Says ook. Sounds like OOC. Call him monkey. Kicks your ass. (whole sentences. Too much effort.)

Kind of appropriate, now I think about it. Except the Librarian does his own dirty work.

Normally, an official is the 3rd or 4th warning you receive, IIRC.

I haven't gotten to one yet and I have approximately 2.15 warnings, both from Frisbee (not counting several "casual"/undocumented warns from Karma, TJ, Euro, Rep, Scolo, &c., which account for the .15.)

Also, Coggy, what happened to you? I haven't seen you around lately...

Errr..."Ook" as an onomatopoeiac word for what a monkey says isn't exactly unique to Unseen University's resident Orangutan, so I hardly see how it qualifies as a "Terry Pratchett joke"...In fact, i used to be a huge Pratchett fan and all i thought was...yeah, monkeys say "Ook"...not funny.

Even if we did get it, your joke sucks... but we won't go into what is sucks like because I don't want to sink to your level. If you wanted people to get your joke, perhaps a more direct approach, as sarcasm and humour often go missed on the internet due to the wide base to allow for written interpretation. After all, the voice tone and inflection as well s body language is missing to illustrate a point.

Calling the librarian a monkey is a baaaaaad idea. Thus the irony of his 'nice monkey' comment.

One nil captain obvious. I already said it was "pisspoor".

but we won't go into what is sucks like because I don't want to sink to your level.

What's that? The moral highground? Please don't scare me with your non-threatening attitude and good manners.

And come on. The world is going to hell in a handbasket, might as well make barbecue for the ride.

well, since I'm at my level, I will say from experience of both that my joke sucks more than your mum.

Woah, where's the "ubernoob" tattoo on me this time? I know the drawbacks of net based humour. I also know that I assume everyone is as great as me, and then give them the chance to prove it, so dragging the world up a few notches.

It's not a joke....it's what monkeys say, the "OOK" thing is not specific to Terry Pratchett, therefore it is not a Terry Pratchett joke.

Indeed, and it would be funny if the word "OOK" was specific to the Librarian, but it's just a word for what moneky's say, therefore to say "nice monkey" when someone says "OOK" is not funny...

Okay, follow this through.

I make a reference to the OOC=ook thing, and call the OP a monkey. In Discworld, the Librarian gets mad and bad stuff happens if you call him a monkey. Following me calling the OP a monkey (not directly, but whatever) he got mad/whiney/mod etc. and bad stuff happened to me. See? Now give a polite chuckle, or maybe even just a "get back to the asylum" half smile, and go on your merry way.

And most "pisspoor" jokes have them rolling in the aisles, I suppose? Get over it, nobody cares anymore that you didn't laugh, least of all me.
