The oldest (literally) joke in the world is as follows: A guy buys a slave (white slave – this is how long ago we’re talking here) and as soon as he gets it home, it dies. He goes back to the seller and says, “Hey, I bought this slave off of you and it died. “By the gods,” answers the slave’s seller, “when he was with me, he never did any such thing!” CC Insider notes, this is basically Monty Python’s dead parrot joke.

    Another Greek slave joke: A miserly dude is taking a long sea voyage. On the way, a huge storm blows up, causing his slaves to weep in terror. “Don’t cry,” he consoles them, “I have freed you all in my will!”

The only way you’re going to get laid at SXSW is to find a girl who doesn’t mind having sex in a closet or on the floor of a shitty hotel room at six in the morning. In other words, you’re not going to get laid at SXSW.

Dude, Ché only executed 2,000 people. If you’re into communist genocide and you’re sick of Mao and Stalin, go for Pol Pot. He did 2,000,000.

Helmets are a great way to say, “I’m another one of these pussy retards that fell for all that gay safety shit.”
