Did you hear the one about the 4 Ayn Rand believers who were stranded on a deserted island?

[upaloopa]

The each had a unique skill that they could share with the others to help in their survival.

One was a doctor who could treat illness and wounds.

One was a botanist who knew which plants were eatable and which were poison.

One was a survivalist who knew how to live in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on his back.

One was a psychologist who knew how to keep everyones spirits up.

Well the all died just a few weeks after they were stranded.

1. I'm sorry but that joke is not plausible

No true Ayn Rand believer is that educated.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. The crux of the joke

is that none of them worked together, which is why they all died?

[Sal Minella]

3. I do believe that's the joke, yes --

and the point is that every one of them died free of the taint of SOCIALISM!!!

[Brickbat]

4. Close...

...but for the joke to work, everyone needs something from someone else.

The survivalist has a broken leg.
The psychologist is blind and can't tell one plant from another.
The botanist is a cubicle-dweller who is afraid of spiders and scary wind noises.
The doctor is chronically depressed.

There you have it.

7. I don't think Randians ever *get* depressed or broken legs.

Once you need someone else's help, don't you tend to grow up a bit?

5. Riddle me this: Why won't the armed forces accept Ayn Randroids?

Answer: they won't fall on a grenade for anybody but themselves.

[Bruce Wayne]

6. Although I loathe Randists, this joke wasn't funny.

You've let me down here. You've let me down personally. A punch line needs a twist to be funny. Something like...

How many Ayn Randians does it take to screw in a lightbulb
Why can't the lightbulb screw itself in?

See? Let's work on that.

9. Did you hear the one about how Ayn Rand received Social Security?

That's all.

[cliffordu]

11. Yep. Died broke on SS.

She should have refused it.

[AynRandCollectedSS]

10. Ayn Rand's followers...

Generally have no sense of humor. It takes a lot of energy to be that selfish and cynical.

[Jamaal510]

12. How can you make a person give up reading?

Give them an Ayn Rand book for Christmas.

13. It'd be funnier if you told us how they all died...

.... and it was ironic in a Rube Goldberg kinda way....

14. I've seen this movie
