    JOke.

    There are two men, an Englishmen and an Australian, wearing their
    respective cricket uniforms, in the men's room. After finishing up, the
    English man walks to the sink to wash up. The Aussie man goes directly
    to the door.

    The English man speaks up, "In England, we wash our hands after urinating."

    The Aussie man calls back before exiting, "In Australia we don't piss on
    our hands."

      Yes, it's a good joke. All the rage at ciwah.

      My friends would refer to you, affectionately, as a "repeating bastard".
      Then we'd vamp on the same basic joke for about four hours and still find
      it funny.

      My friends are weird.

          very old joke. navy/army is very common. (with obviously the navy pusses
          pissing on their hands) not that my army service in any way makes me
          biased.

              Sounds like a rather portable joke, and a symmetric joke (you can swap
              England and Australia, English and Australian, without changing anything
              except also swapping the people who will hit you on the nose and the
              people who will laugh at your joke next Sunday [when they understand it,
              while almost falling asleep in church]).

              So, in the HTML context, should we discuss whether the implicitly
              proposed <joke> element should have portable="porta ble" attribute, or
              maybe - if we realize that "Boolean attributes" were a poor joke that
              wasn't taken as a joke - a portability=".. ." attribute with some keywords
              like "none", "partial" and "complete" as values? Could this really be
              useful without indicating what the modifiable parameters are and how they
              are interrelated (e.g., if you replace "English" by something else, you
              also need to replace "England")? Rendering portable jokes in a manner
              that adapts to each user's cultural background would be a great idea, but
              maybe a little too complicated at the present state of the art. Minimally
              we would need suitable data (like <goodguy>Englis h</goodguy>,
              <badguy>Austral ian</badguy>) added into the Common Locale Data Repository
              that is being built, and have some implementation experiences.

              Maybe it would be best to start from simple <joke>...</joke> markup. This
              would be useful in many ways, including simple user style sheets like
              joke { display: none; }
              and aural style sheets that create a laughing sound before and after
              (or in the background, at least for the en-US locale) Or a user could
              simply click on the text to get information about is jocularity status,
              if he suspects that some text isn't really meant to be taken seriously.

                  How about <crappy old-skool presentational deezign>...</crappy old-skool
                  presentational deezign> markup too? That'd be handy.
