The Rule of Four (not three): What if four men walk into a bar?
Here we use the Rule of Four, as applied to the old “What if (x) men walk into a bar?” joke!
Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks “Does any of you want a drink?” The first logician says, “I don’t know.” The second logician says, “I don’t know.” The third logician says “No.”
Three logicians and Donald Trump walk into a bar in Tijuana. The bartender asks, “Does any of you want a drink?” The first logician says, “I don’t know.” The second logician says, “I don’t know.” The third logician says, “I don’t know.” Trump says, “I’ll have a margarita and the Mexicans will pay for it.”
A priest, a minister, a rabbi and the Speaker of the House each are asked what they would like to hear people say at their funeral. The priest says, “He brought people to Christ.” The minister says, “He was a man of God.” The rabbi says, “Look, he’s moving!” The Speaker says, “No, that’s Kevin McCarthy.”
The Three Wisemen and Bob Menendez visit Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem. The first Wiseman says, “I bring gold for the Baby Jesus.” The second Wiseman says, “I bring frankincense for the Son of God.” The third Wiseman says, “I bring myrrh for the King of Kings.” Menendez says, “I didn’t bring anything, but for the gold I can get you out of this crummy manger and into a four-star room on the west bank of the Nile with a great view of the pyramids!”
The Three Stooges and George Santos are painting a house. Larry pokes Curly in the eye and says “Boink!” Curly pokes Moe in the eye and says “Doink!” Moe pokes Santos in the eye and says “Toink!” Santos pokes himself in his other eye and says, “Oink! That’s Yiddish too, right? I’m Jewish like you guys – honest!”
A priest, a minister, a rabbi, and Donald Trump are discussing how they distribute the proceeds from their collections. The priest says, “I draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands in the circle is mine, the rest is for the church.” The minister says, “I draw a line, throw the money, and whatever lands on the right is mine.” The rabbi says, “I throw the money in the air and whatever God wants, he keeps.” Trump says, “Every penny goes to Deutsche Bank – honest!”
A priest, a minister, a rabbi and the Speaker of the House rub a magic lamp and a genie appears. The genie says, “I will grant each of you one wish.” The priest says, “Salvation through Christ.” The minister says, “A return to the true Christian spirit.” The rabbi says, “Peace in the Middle East.” The Speaker says, “A golden parachute.”
Humphrey Bogart, James Bond, Jeff Lebowski and Mitch McConnell walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What’ll you have?” Bogart says, “Bourbon, straight.” Bond says, “Vodka martini, shaken not stirred.” Lebowski says, “a White Russian.” McConnell remains speechless for thirty seconds until his aides gently guide him out of the bar.
