MOST MEMORABLE WIZARD OF ID STRIP

In the first panel, the King is sitting on his throne and the Wizard is beside him. The King is shouting, "I'm surrounded by idiots! Bring me the wittiest man in the kingdom!"

In the second panel, the King is sitting and the Wizard is standing nearby accompanied by a man smoking a cigar. The Wizard is saying, "Sire, this is Nit. He's the wittiest man in the kingdom."

In the third panel, it's only the King and Nit. The King is saying, "Hello, Nit."

In the fourth panel, Nit is saying, "Hello yourself."

............. :lol:

...........cracks me up.

Loki, a Jew, an Irishman, and a platypus walk into a bar. The bartender looks up at them and says "What's this!? Some kind of joke?"

Here's one:

Q. How many analytic philosophers does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. None. By definition, lightbulbs emit light. Therefore if it isn't emitting light, it can't be a lightbulb. Therefore there is no lightbulb to change. (Followed by lament: Oh, whatever happened to rigorous philosophy?)

Rick - seeing as how this is a philosophy board and that your joke related, in a roundabout way, to analytic philosophy, I'll take this opportunity to point out a glaring hole in your joke. Lightbulbs emit light only when connected to a power source; emittance of light is not a sufficient condition of something being called a lightbulb.

Hmm!? But since when has a non-sufficent condition been enough to refute the necessary condition that for a lightbulb to be a lightbulb, that it be a bulb that is lit?

p.s.
Rick,
Should it not be "...a broken lightbulb" to be correct as a philosophical joke?

Predicate is wholly contained in the subject! Unmarried men are bachelors. I conclude that I am a bachelor, so I'm not married. What is said about what the sentence is about that is what analytics is about. I am unmarried therefore I am a bachelor.

Rick defined light bulb, and how they work in the definition.

:lol:

Deductively it does not have to be broken to be changed.
