U.S.Patent Office And The Apple (S207, S622b)
-
After patiently waiting for hours, a man is let into the U.S. Patent Office to a demonstration of his new invention. "What do you have to show me," the officer asks. The inventor pulls a red apple from his pocket and hands it to the patent officer. Shaking his head in the patent officer informs the man that an apple is hardly a new invention. "You don't understand," the man says. "This is a special hybrid that I have developed myself. Take a bite out of it and tell me what you think." The patent officer, unsure but curious, takes a bite out of the apple. "Big deal," he says. "It tastes like an apple." "Turn it around and take another bite," says the inventor. The officer takes a bite out of other side and his expression turns to disbelief. "I don't belive it," he says. "It has the taste and texture of an orange. The inventor throws the officer another apple. "here, try this one." This time the officer says that it tastes like a peach. The inventor eagerly asks him to turn it around and take a bite out of the other side. The officer does so and is rewarded with the taste of bananna. "This is a great invention. "it's too bad that you can't make one that tastes like Pussy!" The inventor smiles and reaches into his pocket, producing another apple. "Try it," he says. The officer takes a bite and his face contorts horribly. "That tastes like shit![^]" he yells. "Turn it around," laughs the inventor.

That has always been one of my favorite jokes (though told ever so slightly differently).

It seemed appropriate in light of the Apple gesture patent ;)
