    One with everything!

    Great.

    But the one-sided laughter. That’s the best. Isn’t there an old Irish proverb that says, “Nothing is bad when you’re laughing.”

  2. Kate Says:

    He’s a Marxist. They’re hilarious.

  3. Don Carlos Says:

    hahahaha.
    Put an Aussie in with a Marxist Tibetan monk, and you get……….nothing.

    I was taking pictures for runway at fashion week. i just decided to take a break… and go get more film.. *yes film… expensive..

    so there i am… standing there… when who should appear walking up the street.. the Dalai lama..

    i said hi, he said hi…
    and thats when i discovered i had no film

    he was to give a speech and such…

    i DID get Barbara Bush and chat for a min..

    but i would have much preferred to hang out with the Dalai lama for a short while… much nicer than Couric..

    but now i know he is a self admitted marxist, i am glad i didnt waste my time…

    Next time try telling the Dalai Lama this pizza joke : A fellow walks into a pizzeria and orders a large pizza. The pizza chef asks: should I cut it into six or eight slices? Cut it into six, I don’t think I can eat eight.

  7. effess Says:

    The Dalai Lama cartoon reminds me of another cartoon. It shows a woman dressed in a peasant outfit on a country road looking into her empty mailbox. The heading for the drawing was something like, Jean-Paul Sartre writes his mother. The cartoon balloon has the mother saying, “Again with the nothingness. And on my birthday no less!”

  8. Deeka Says:

    “Gunga Ga-Lunga”.

    “He’s a big hitter the Lama.”

    “So I got that goin’ for me.”

  9. Curtis Says:

    So I say, hey, how about a little, somethin, you know, for the effort.

  10. KBK Says:

    Deeka beat me. Great stuff.

    That cartoon reminds me of an episode of Metalocalypse, when for Murderface’s birthday, the band gets him the blackest, most brutal birthday present ever………..NOTHING!

    I saw some commentary on another site and someone suggested a better joke for the DL.

    After he give the clerk a $20, he asks for change. The clerk’s reply is “change must come from within”.

  13. Parker Says:

    effess,

    Great joke! I’ll remember that one. :-)

    When I was acting I had to have one of those stupid resumes with special skills listed. Actors would put idiotic things like roller blading and driving, very seriously. So I sandwiched into mine, “Caddied for the Dalai Lama”. Then added some other true skills before putting “Just kidding about the Lama”. It always got laughs after they got that I wasn’t serious. But it also got some funny astonished Wows before they got it.

    I LOVED the Bill Murray monologue on caddying for da lama. And his tip was a promise of total consciousness on his death bed. “So I got dat going for me.”. I laugh just thinking about it.

    The Caddyshack Dalai Lama gag.

    The variation on this that I first heard about 10 years ago: Question: “What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?” Answer: (in a heavy Indian accent) “Could you make me one with everything, Please?”

  17. Data Schlepper Says:

    Thanks for cheering me up. Now I have to have pizza for lunch so I can tell that joke to the guy who makes the pizza.

  18. Alex Says:

    Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who went to get a root canal but refused the offer of novocaine? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

  19. F Says:

    The best Dalai Lama joke? Being ushered out the back door of the White House. I wished then he could have turned Obama into a stone water buffalo. Then I realized the actual curse — that he live the rest of his life as Barack Obama — was even worse.
