This is the thread for jokes that are meta, pointless, or just don't seem to fit any normal mold.

Q: What did the Zen Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?
A: Make me one with everything.

That one doesn't really belong here (we're looking for , not ), but I'll post the follow-up:

The Zen Buddhist gives the vendor a twenty-dollar bill,
and the vendor gives the Zen Buddhist a hot dog.
The Zen Buddhist asks: "Where's my change?",
and the vendor replies: "Change comes from within."

Okay, so I heard this great joke the other day.

Wait, no, was it one guy or two?

Was it a bar? Maybe a lightbulb?

Shoot, I just forgot it.
