My favorite knock knock joke for something like 15 years now:

"Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

"9/11"

"9/11 who?"

"YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER FORGET!"


It's funny because the conservatives clearly wanted 9/11 to be something that would rile up Americans for generations, but they blew all the international charitable attitude towards it by destabilizing the middle east (which Europe actually had to deal with the consequences of, unlike the US) and then following up with Trump of all people as the next Republican after Bush.

Like, they couldn't have made the rest of the world and US citizens care any less about it.

Especially post Occupy Wall Street when most of the country realizes how fucked up Wall Street is and that 9/11 was an attack on... Wall Street. Not as much sympathy for traders these days.

The real terrorists were the ones we were brewing here at home all along.
