Sam:  John will you lend me two hundred dollars if I asked you?

John:  Why, yes I suppose so.

Sam:  All right, then, lend me  two hundred but just give me one hundred first.

John:  OK, but why?

Sam:  Then you'll owe me one hundred, and I'll owe you one hundred and we'll be square.

    How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A fish!

    (explanation)

    As you know, one of the necessities to be a surrealist is being as bizarre, weird and unbelievable as possible. Surrealism movement has the quality of a dream; the more unusual and out of the ordinary the better. The infamous light bulb joke has numerous variations. When it comes to surrealists, a fish changing a light bulb seems totally plausible. The reality is not an issue for them, you know? Hope this helped. :)

    that's why it's out of the ordinary. a mindly joke.

    Thanks for the explanation and for sharing this artistic joke, A7.  p0111.gif t2019.gif

    These are minor chords, therefore, the bartender is not allowed to serve them. A play on the word 'minor' as an underage drinker or a musical scale, chord, key or interval.

    Thanks for the explanation, A7. b0223.gif

    Now, I understand. They are forever minors who always walk into bars.

    This is a nice joke. Thanks for sharing, A7. t2022.gif
