It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

A Minneapolis joke: a lady gets on a bus and says “Does this bus go to Duluth?” (You have to pronouce this with a Minnesota accent, sorty of Norwegiany as if it had a lot of oomlauts–exactly like the movie Fargo–maybe “toooo daloooot”)
The bus driver answers, “No, lady, it goes beep, beep.”

All right; you said bad, I will not be held responsible for the quality or poor taste of the following; its one of the few jokes I can ever remember:

Why did the dead baby cross the road?
It was stapled to the chicken

Now, that wasn’t nearly as bad as the dead baby mailbox joke. Who wants to hear that one?

Don’t make us beg, Jim.

I don’t think I can top Luke, but I’ll see if I can come close:
