Is this anything like the Monty Python “World’s Funniest Joke” skit? Where the British decided to “weaponize” the joke during the Great War (WW-I), and so their own people wouldn’t die laughing, they had to translate the joke one word at a time?
And that you had to get British soldiers who didn’t know any German to yell the joke over the trench top at the German soldiers assaulting their position?
So is the Jake Tapper thing something like that?
Ingenious, but how do you get a guy without a funnybone to come up with the joke? Or do many Bothans have to die bringing it to us?
If I remember the skit, the guy who came up with the joke gave his life “for King and Country” in the process. The translation of the joke was also a close run thing . . .
The MP skit referenced the Joke being in WWII, not WWI.
