It goes something like this

Q: Why can’t Americans play chess against the British anymore?

A: Because the British are missing the queen and the Americans are missing two towers (rooks).

I have now laughed at two different 9/11 jokes tonight, which is probably a personal record.

It’s also been pointed out that The Nightmare Before Christmas can serve as a metaphor for how cultural appropriation works: helping yourself to the shiny exotic trappings of a vastly different culture with vastly different underlying cultural assumptions, without consulting the natives or bothering to understand the context.

It really is and I'm glad people can see that.

I reprehensibly laughed hugely at this. Am still giggling.
