When you tell this one, effect a thick Alaskan accent.
Jean and Sarah, they are on the North Slope alone and cold with nothing
to do.
So Jean, he say to Sarah, "Sarah, I know how we can pass the time."
And Sarah say to Jean, "Tell me how we pass the time."
And Jean say, "We play this game, it is called Twenty Questions."
And Sarah say, "How we play this game, this Twenty Questions?"
Jean, he say to Sarah, "Is easy. I think this thing in my head, I
no tell you what it is. Then you ask the questions, the kind I
answer only with 'yes' or 'no.' See how many question it take for
you to guess this thing I think in my head."
So Sarah, she like the idea, and she say to Jean, "Okay, Jean, good
idea. You think a thing in your head, you no tell me, and I try to
guess.
Now Jean try to think a thing, and he does. Jean thinks, moose
cock.
So Jean say to Sarah, "Okay, Sarah, I now think a thing in my head
but not tell you. You guess. Ask to me a yes/no question."
Sarah, she ponders for minutes, then asks her first question. She
says, "Jean, this thing you think in your head and not tell me, is
it a thing you can eat?"
And Jean, he thinks, well, we could be lost on the North Slope waiting
for Putin to rear his head, with just one dead moose, and we eat all the
other parts, and still no Putin, and all is left is the cock, and we
are hungry, so I must say yes.
So Jean, he says, "Yes, Sarah, this thing I think in my head and
not tell you, it is something you can eat. Ask the next question."
And Sarah, she says, "Is it moose cock?"

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
