God thing they specified before rock paper scissors cause other wise this looks like a beat off contest.

bionicjoey , in It's a pretty funny joke, but it's funnier if you hear it in person.

I heard a good one recently:

A dog walks into a bar and says, "I can't see a thing. I guess I'll open this one"

I'm not normally one for blind dogs in bars jokes, but that's a damn good one.

When you came, you said to me as follows: ‘I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) fine quality copper ingots.’ You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my messenger (Sit-Sin) and said: ‘If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!’

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and umi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Samas.

See? That's what I'm saying. Can I even trust these Azons with copper? I only have so much Lebanese cedar wood to trade.

This is so far beyond meme misuse that it's unclear what even is the message you're trying to convey
