This is how my driving school taught me to use a roundabout. Though I never see anyone but me do this.

In a similar vein, I picked up Marvel Multiverse RPG recently. My friends haven't played DND picked this up really quickly.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. So by the other user's logic, you shouldn't be using the hard /p/ sound.

How do you pronounce JPEG?

You've just described Lemmy

Definitely a glitch in the matrix.

Mobius: Knock Knock

Brad: Who's there?

Mobius: Brad

Brad: Brad who?

Mobius: That's show business

This is a bit of an old joke but the humour comes from two layers.

The first layer comes from the last two lines. Brad is a famous actor, so probably a household name. So the expectation is that nobody would ask who he was in the same way nobody would ask "Beyonce who?" But Hollywood is fickle and stars today can easily become forgotten tomorrow. Pretending not to know a celebrity is an insult that is associated with this nature of Hollywood. Hence the "That's show business line" where the jokester acts like they're reluctantly agreeing that the celebrity isn't famous anymore. This is extra hurtful since the famous person is the one tricked into saying "...(their own name) who?"

The second layer comes from the expectation of the structure of a regular knock knock joke. Since this joke doesn't follow that structure, it breaks expectations and creates humour.

Mainly it's the first part though.

It worked for me. I'm using Boost for Lemmy as my client.
