True story? FYOI? FSEI? A joke? If true or FYOI, is the H/A/M you? Relevant? Does anyone die in this one? If so, grisly scene? Darwin Awards? Circus midgets relevant? Cannibalism relevant? Intricate murder with unfortunate oversight relevant? Covering some LTPF basics, you know. Any other relevant people? Any relevant animals (besides the beef)? Relevant that it's beef? Could this work with sausage? with fried chicken? with bacon? | ||

Is the H/A/M related to you? Your friend? Can we call the H/A/M Jesus? Is it relevant that Jesus is Male? Adult? Human? If we lived in a world where cows ate humans, could Jesus be a cow?

In the joke are Medvedev and Putin dining together? Is there anyone else present? Is there a relevant dish being served? Is there a dispute over who holds the most power? Talking of jokes and politics I was very impressed with Obama's speech at that press dinner. The man actually shows genuine comic timing . I thought he was hilarious . Nice to see a world leader acting like a regular guy for a change. The Mitt Romney dog advert was classic. | ||
