The old joke is using two cows to explain systems of government, like:
FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
Here are the RPG systems, culled from the link above:
D&D: You have two cows. You kill them for experience.
EXALTED: You have two cows. They each know 9 forms of martial arts.
Old World of Darkness: You have two cows. The first cow rules for 5,000 years and is a complete prick. The second cow wears a leather jacket and bemoans his fate.
Call of Cthulhu: Strange things have been happening. You think you might have two cows, so you investigate. Finding the two cows drives you permanently insane.
Paranoia: Knowledge of cows is treason.
Hunter: You have two cows. The voices in your head say that one of them is evil and needs to be dealt with.
Cyberpunk 2020: You have two cows. You spend most of your time fighting off your neighbors who haven't had beef.... ever. You are thinking about installing cyber upgrades to turn them into sentry cows.
Kult: You have no cows. The cows have you. They have always had you, and always will.
Star Wars SE: You have two bantha.
Made for Henry when the king was twenty-three, it is all that remains of a full suit of body armor that was decorated with etching and silver-gilt fretted panels by an anonymous Augsburg goldsmith. It was made for Henry by Konrad Seusenhofer of Innsbruck as a gift from the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. A second, identical suit was made at the same time for the Emperor’s grandson and heir, the future Emperor Charles V. This second suit survives. It was rumored that Henry was nearsighted which would explain the glasses.
Okay guys, there is officially no point in making fun of Libertarians anymore. This video wins at that. This is the H-bomb of mocking Libertarians and it is so successful precisely because it is *by* a Libertarian. Well played, crazy guy, well played.
The reason for it to have such a strange look is because it was used later by Russian army to test the influence of Russian alternative to napalm inside of the brick houses.
Due to very high temperature of napalm the bricks started melting just like ice melts in the spring forming the icicles, but those icicles are of red brick.
With any story, there is a setup process. Here is the setup to this story. About 6 months ago, I was making a purchase with my credit card and when I went to sign the electronic signature machine, it was broken. By broken, I mean that when I touched the pen to the machine, it went crazy and didn't look anything like my signature. It looked like a drunk 4 year old signed my name for me. It accepted the signature without any problems. So this really made me wonder what I could do to give my credit card company something to laugh about. I mean, they obviously don't review the signatures since they never called me or declined a purchase. For fucks sake, it could have been a stolen card.
. . .
Today I went the extra mile. When it came time to sign my name, a thought popped in my head. I should draw a picture. But what picture should I draw? I smirked as something completely juvenile came to me. This is a rough drawing of the signature that I provided:
