“Is it true,” asked the student, “that the gods only have power because we believe in them?”
“Yes,” said the sage. “It is true.”
“If everyone believed I was a god, would I become a god?”
“You have said it.”
So the student traveled the land, dominant assurance contract in hand. Everywhere he went, he told the people, “Sign this contract, that if everyone in the land signs the contract, you agree to worship me as a god.”
The people were skeptical. “Why should we worship you.? But the student won them over. To the Northmen, he promised that upon attaining divine powers, he would stop their long civil war. To the Westmen, he promised to humiliate their enemies the Eastmen. To the Eastmen, he promised to protect them from their enemies the Westmen. And the Southmen, he promised to make them as rich as they currently were poor.

“Hello, welcome to the temple of the three omniscient idols, one of which always tells the truth, one of which always lies, and one of which answers randomly. I know you already signed the release form, but I’m supposed to remind you that Idol Temple LLC does not know which idol is which and cannot provide you with – “
The petitioner, a man with slick blond hair, cut me off. “Ha, no problem! I’m gonna ask each idol for next week’s Powerball numbers, then buy three tickets.” Before I could respond, he shouted “Left idol! What are next week’s winning Powerball numbers?”
“3, 15, 26, 63, 65, and 16,” said the left idol, in a voice like if a vampire bat could speak.
“Center idol, what are next week’s winning Powerball numbers?”
“8, 22, 24, 45, 50, and 55,” said the center idol, in a voice like the crackling of Venusian lightning against thick cloud-banks.
“Right idol, what are next week’s winning Powerball numbers?”
“Any who disrespect the omniscient idols by misusing their knowledge for sordid financial gain will, after their death, be sent to the bottom-most layer of Hell, where venomous worms will gnaw at their organs from the inside forever, never to know rest or surcease from pain” said the right idol, in a monotone.
“What?” the man asked me, helplessly. “Is that true?”

I recall coming across versions of this before. I don’t know who originated it.
Watching this cheered me up.
Jerusalema is a gospel-influenced song in the Zulu language produced by South African producer master KG and performed by the vocalist Nomcebo in 2019.
In February, 2020, Frndómenos do Semla, a dance group in Angola, recorded themselves dancing to the song while eating and not dropping their plates.
Since then the Jerusalema dance has gone viral. People all over the world are doing it. (But I only learned of it day before yesterday.)

This is from the 1993 movie, Addams Family Values, which is based on the TV series, The Addams Family.
The Addams Family was a popular 1964-66 TV series and a 1991 movie, based on Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons. One of the characters was the little girl Wednesday Addams.
I didn’t know until the other day there was an adult Wednesday Addams series on YouTube. I got a kick out of it, but unnfortunately it was terminated in the middle of second series because of copyright consideration.
This often happens for me. I catch up with things after the world has passed them by.

Even though I’ve never been a cat owner, I think this is pretty funny.
Evidently complaints choirs were a big thing 15 years or so years ago, but I only heard of them last week. They’re a fad that may have come and gone, but, to me, they are timelessly funny.
