These "certified smart" jokes?
If you aren't at least cognizant of geopolitics, you'll never get the last one. The previous one, you have to know some electronics. A fair bit, actually. Didn't have much hope for it, but, ya know, this is SVTPerformance. Humor is what _WE_ decide it is. This last one, though? No knowledge of the global political stage, no comprende.

Sooooooo ... the fact that you got it, at all, means you're up there on the anti-Dunning-Kruger scale.

Y'all want the bad jokes to stop? Fear not, you're devoted strategist has a plan on exactly how to accomplish that. Because anything for my SVTP homies. The plan is:

I need a Feuling W3 motorcycle. It is 250,000.00 bucks. Which is about $300,000.00 more than yours truly has to marshal, at this point in his finances. _IF_ enough of y'all buy one story, I can probably convince Mrs. Snover to let me finance the rest to purchase a W3. At which point I will almost certainly be killed on the very first ride, thus neatly sparing the rest of the world from such jokes as:

"What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!"

And

"What do you call a cow with no legs that goes 200 miles-per-hour? Ground effect beef."

The choice is yours, SVTP. Let history not judge you un-kindly.

... sorry ... I think I blacked out for a minute there ... what were we talking about? Was it the SR-71 Blackbird? Anyone?

And make no mistake about it: Mrs. Snover is a smart one. She had to be. She married me, and survived. So there's no fooling her. God knows, I've tried, and she sees right through every attempt. I blame my Dad. "Marry a smart girl, Jim, and you'll never be bored." What he didn't tell me is that it is because she sees right through all my bullshit. Might have spelled that one out a bit more, Dad. Nevertheless, I persevere.

Y'all see what I did there? I wrote that reply in a quantum mechanical font I invented, I call it "the Heisenberg." You can either read the message, but not know what it means; OR, you can know what the message means, but you can't read it.

The new server's Travis got makes this possible. You can't run the Heisenberg font on just any old abacus with an ethernet connection!

Oh they're certainly certified.

And I'm on to you, Snover. That $300k isn't for a motorcycle. You wouldn't engage in such a foolish pursuit. It's a particle accelerator, isn't it?
