I saw this article online, about a pagan band asking for an area for "quiet fornication."

http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/0100ne...-name_page.html

Now, I'm no expert on paganism, and perhaps I shouldn't be making fun of them, but I couldn't help but think it funny that they want fornication . . . only if it's quiet.

In fact, I think if you asked "Why do pagans like quiet fornication?" it could be a great joke. It just needs a punch line. I can think of a few obvious ones with various low degrees of humor ("Cause the noisy kind bothers the neighbors."), but I thought that the combined comedic talent here at the LL could turn this one a classic joke. All we need now is the right punch line. Any takers?

Q. Why do pagans like quiet fornication?

A. . . . . . . .

I'm not sure, but yelling "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!" has to be in the punchline somewhere.

Almost choked on my Mountain Dew reading this one. Perhaps not the most thoughtful punchline but probably the funniest :)

Q. Why do pagans like quiet fornication?

A. Because getting a date already is a hell.


A. Because there really is nothing to talk about.


A. Because wearing a goat mask alone doesn't guarantee people not recognizing you.


The goat mask made me think of the book the Mists of Avalon, where brother and sister end up together not knowing who they are :ph34r:
