Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ayn Rand and Two Guys Walk Into a Bar...The following is a pretty lame joke I got off of Facebook. Well... maybe not that lame, but I'm on the target end, so it's not as funny to me as it is to a progressive or other big government apologist. The original is a Tweet from one Miss O'Kistic (see here).Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there were no regulations. They die. This joke does have teeth, though, if one is preaching to the choir. It resonated all over the Internet with both polarized sides duking it out in several places.I tried to make a counter and it's cute. I wish it had more teeth. Still, it's good for a chuckle.Michael Moore, Saul Alinsky and Barack Obama walk into a bar. Moore films an unflushed toilet in the men's room, Alinsky starts a riot, and Obama enacts an Executive Order. They confiscate the bar and jail the bartender. Anyone want to give another try?Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf DeVoon Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar, take one look at it, and leave to find a more reputable place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Fisher Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 That joke is really lame no matter how you look at it. I'm pretty sure I could do better right off the top of my head. An Objectivist goes to a public library. He picks up a copy of Atlas Shrugged, but is confused by the lack of a price sticker. He asks the librarian how much the book costs. The librarian says that the book is public property and he can check it out at no cost. He then throws the librarian down a stairwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there were no regulations. They die. If laws were based on the ideas of Rand, Paul and Ryan, it would be illegal to serve lethally tainted alcohol.In a truly free market, tainted and low-quality products would be much less common than in a taxed and regulated market.Miss O'Kistic's view seems to be that the nature of mankind is to cheat and to be willing to harm one's fellow humans to make a quick buck, and therefore we should create a political system in which we centralize power and put it in the hands of those who are the most eager to cheat and harm their fellow humans on the largest scale, rather than eliminating or dispersing that power as widely as possible.Idiot.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your premises? as Rand would say. Dumbfounded, Miss O'Kistic would most likely say something profound, like "Huh?" Then Rand would procede to name them, and eviscerate them.

Brant Gaede Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If I come up with a joke it'll be so good Michael will have to lock down the thread to keep me from being assaulted with various flavors of jealousy. That's why I'm looking for a lousy alternative, but for the life of me I can't do it. You'd think it'd be the simplest thing in the world.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If Ayn Rand walks into a bar three men will follow her. Dominique had three men, so did Dominique. The problem is they all had to take numbers--except for the first guy. In TF the first guy was the last guy. In AS the first guy became second guy (no guy) to the last guy.

caroljane Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks ! Could be varied -- Rand and two guys walk into bar and walk right out again. "Howcome?" asks the doorman -- "Oh, we were just checking premises."Is it too late for me to start a sitdown comedy career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
