Well, congrats.I've been reading b3ta for about 4 or 5 years now, and most of the jokes that I don't get (forgive me, but I'm 'Merkin/septic/from the USA) I can easily Google, or there's enough explanation in the ensuing thread that I can get it.
But this one leaves me absolutely clueless. I have no idea what makes this so awesome. So I will remember it as the Single Greatest Joke I Never Got.
EDIT: Many thanks for the explanations! All's I can say is: oh. Oh dear. I really hoped we were past all of that kind of nonsense. I'd like to say that we'd never do something like that here, but I'd have thought the same of Our Friends Across the Pond.
