The couple at the door

:confused: Sorry, I just don't get it. Maybe it's a culture thing, maybe it's because it's 10:10 PM and I'm still at office, not having eaten anything since lunch. :sigh: Care to explain? :) Cheers, Vikram.

It's a cross-cultural thing - I don't get it either.

over here we get a load of christian 'cults' who go out knocking on doors trying to persuade you to buy in. They are normally either very well dressed young men / women or some seem to do it as a happy family outing. Its basically a piss-take of these people. Please dont ask me to explain further:~ Its possibly a bit a bit of a politically incorrect joke. Jon

I'm not sure this is a repost, but it's worth the read. This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well groomed, nicely dressed couple. The man spoke first: John: "Hi! I'm John, and this is Mary." Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us." Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss His ass?" John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, He'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, He'll kick the shiat out of you." Me: "What? Is this some sort of bizarre mob shake-down?" John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do whatever He wants, and what He wants is to give you a million dollars, but He can't until you kiss His ass." Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..." Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the ass?" Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..." John: "Then come kiss Hank's ass with us." Me: "Do you kiss Hank's ass often?" Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..." Me: "And has He given you a million dollars?" John: "Well no. You don't actually get the money until you leave town." Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?" Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money, and He kicks the shiat out of you." Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's ass, left town, and got the million dollars?" John: "My mother kissed Hank's ass for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money." Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?" John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it." Me: "So what makes you think He'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?" Mary: "Well, He gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise, maybe you'll win a small lotto, maybe you'll just find a twenty-dollar bill on the street." Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?" John: "Hank has certain 'connections.'" Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game." John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's ass He'll kick the shiat out of you." Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to Him, get the details straight from Him..." Mary: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank." Me: "Then how do you kiss His ass?" John: "Sometimes we just blow Him a kiss, and think of

Well...Diego said: "This is, by far, the best joke I've seen in this place." To which you responded: "This one came from fark.com." Thereby branding it a joke. Now do something to make it funny.

Think of the couple as generic/template (as in C++ and C#) which implements a "FanaticalMissionary" interface. This interface can be implemented by any kind of other class (Hare Krishnas, AmWay salespeople, political propagandists, reverend Moon adorers, etc.) The joke has no punchline, it is rather pictorial of what these people do and say when trying to convert others.
