Don’t exactly know what is expected of me on the silliness thread, but I’m in. :-)

If you're silly and you know it, clap you hands..If you're......

I have no idea why it posts the ping 3 times.

It has something to do with the size of your ping list. My list posts twice, and I only have about 170 people on it.

I'm going to give an award to a dead serious bumper sticker which I saw the other day:

If you voted to re-elect Obama, you lost worse than our side did.

Silly on the surface. But 100% spot-on when you think it through.

A man walks into a bar and hears beautiful piano music. He looks around and sees a grand piano, but it doesn't appear to have anyone playing it. Upon closer inspection he sees a man, about a foot high, standing on the bench and playing beautifully.

The man walks up to the bartender, hooks a thumb toward the piano, and says, "What's with the tiny man playing the piano?"

The bartender pulls out an old lamp and puts it on the bar. "Go ahead," he nods, "give it a rub."

Uncertain, the man rubs the lamp. Suddenly, a genie appears. The genie says, "For freeing me from the lamp, I will grant you one wish." The man, still suspecting some kind of scam, says, "I'd like a thousand bucks!"

"Done!" replies the genie. He then disappears and the bartender returns the lamp behind the bar. The man looks about uncertainly. Seeing no piles of cash, he pulls out his wallet and starts to look inside, when a huge flock of ducks comes flying into the bar, disrupting everything.

With a lot of shouting, hand waving, pushing, and cursing, the patrons and the bartender finally manage to get the last duck to leave. The man looks at the bartender and says, "I'm really sorry about that. I didn't ask the genie for a thousand ducks."

The bar tender looks at the man and says, "Do you think I asked for a 12-inch pianist?????"

By golly, you're right! He's 80, apparently.

Lost scene from "The Empire Strikes Back"

A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.

Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

Darth Vader: No, Luke... I am your father!

Luke: No. It can't be. That's not true. That's impossible!

Darth Vader: Search your feelings Luke... you know them to be true.

Luke: NOOoooo!

Darth Vader: Yes, it is true... and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours?

Luke: Threepio?

Darth Vader: Yes... Threepio... I built him... when I was 7 years old.

Luke: No! ... Wait, huh?

Darth Vader: Seven years old. And what have you done? Look at yourself. No hand. No job. And you couldn't even levitate your own ship out of the swamp...

Luke: But... I destroyed your precious Death Star!

Darth Vader: But that was when you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed an entire Trade Federation Droid Control ship!

Luke: Well, it's not my fault...

Darth Vader: Oh, here we go... "Poor me... my father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday... boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith... Nobody loved me... waahhh wahhh!"

Luke: Shut up!

Darth Vader: You're a slacker! By the time I was your age, I had already exterminated the Jedi knights!

Luke: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon.

Darth Vader: Oh, for the love of the Emperor... 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open... the Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer... right here baby!

Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it.

Darth Vader: I was wrong... You're not my kid... I don't know whose you are, but you sure ain't mine.

Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft.

Darth Vader looks down after him.

Darth Vader: And get a haircut!
