Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

What you have linked has absolutely nothing to do with accents or language barriers. All it is is a couple of knock-knock jokes.

:wtf:

I can hardly see anything in relation to accents. It's a 'simple' joke. Not an especially entertaining one, which makes me laugh, but the punch line is at least clear.

That's an interesting perspective, but I think you're underestimating the importance of the silver bells and cockle shells.

WTF,  is it just me or are those quotes out of nowhere? I can't find the post where ZB or Aldo actually mentioned what the other is quoting.

Incidentally, this is most likely an urban legend. I found this joke on Usenet as far back 1999.
