Post your philosophy jokes and pieces of humour here!

I found a great page with action figures based on famous philosophers here: http://www.geocities.com/krinklyman2/powers.html

If you've been following the thread on Descartes, you might find this funny:

Not quite philosophy but close enough...

A man walks up to a buddhist hot-dog stand and says "Make me one with everything".

Haven't heard many, but my favourite by far has to be the Monty Python "Philosopher's Song" (lyrics as follows, although you really have to hear it to get the full effect):

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

It has finally arrived: PHILO-VIAGRA !!!

One pill = six hours of performance

* Intense philosophy, dissertations, discussions/debates with two, three or more partners!

* Always easy to discuss the most complex ideas!

* Critical analysis of all positions in contemporary politics.

Philosophical power in pills for all dialectic deficiencies!

Irrefutable testimonies:

"For eight hours non-stop, I defended the notion of the Heideggerian in-itself before a neo-marxist. In the end, she wanted more!." - Bernard L.


"Five times in a row, I refuted ontological cognitive subjectivity and afterwards, my conviction was still very big". - Pierre B.


"She was screaming 'I can't take anymore' but still, I continued to enumerate the tenets of positivism to her" Michel S.
