A strange take on that elementary school joke

“What’s invisible and smells like carrots.”

Sweden.

“That’s amongst some people, particularly among some animal rights activists who think this is not a good way to treat rabbits.”

Some people think animal rights activists are an as yet untapped source of fuel.

SAVE A BUNNY! BURN AN ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST!

“What’s invisible and smells like carrots.”

- Funny.

Over here in Old Europe, we make the same joke of you.

What? We smell like bunny farts?
That's the original punch line.

What's invisible and smells like carrots?

Detroit.

Doesn't have the same impact. I don't think they burn bunnies in Detroit. Just neighborhoods.

- Seriously, over here in Europe, we get reports of Detroit going to hell.

When I was a child in the early 1980’s, my teacher showed slides feauturing how the workers of Detroit lived;
nice homes and all that.

By today, that money probably has moved to Bavaria, Germany.
