[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

An old one I was reminded of for some odd reason.

Two souls ascending to heaven passed a mountain, where they saw two eagles flying.  "Ah, eagles," one soul said to the other.  The eagles, to be polite, said nothing.

I don't get it. "Ah, souls" doesn't sound impolite.

Did you hear about the bird that stole a snack from the beach? It was a bay gull.

I... think I see what you did there?

I don't get the original joke ):

That is the original joke.

[Starver]

That was the original joke.

PPE: Ninjaed

(I don't get whether Doze actually got it. It was either a well-played response, or a funny 'found joke' that it hadn't been. Either's good. Edit: which means none of the above is terrible!)

Ah, so it was thread-appropriate
I just kept wondering if I missed a pun or something.  Kept trying to interpret "Ah, souls" as something, just like Dozebôm.

So it's like my "Rope joke" from Boy Scouts, which I'm sure I'm shared before.  A skit I did with my best friend, before a crowd of all the assembled parents, our own included:

Friend: *messing with a rope*
Me: *Walk on stage* "Hey, what are you doing?"
Friend: "Tying a knot"
Me: "That's dumb." *exeunt*

It *looks* low effort, but I don't think that was our intention.  Most people were copying scripts their parents found online (this was the 90's, we were literally like 12).  We wanted to do something different than yet another Happy Fun Ball take.  We wanted to go meta.

The awkward forced applause from the parents was our punchline.  And maybe that's mean, but we were kids.

In retrospect I may have also been frustrated with the very concept of knot-tying, which always escaped me beyond the most basic ones.  But I'm pretty sure that Death of the Author applies here because I am a different person.

Who still cannot tie knots, and sometimes goes out with guys.

As to your rope trick: Cue Milligan. Or Q...  Milligan and cast facing and starting to move towards the fourth wall:

What are we gonna do now?
What are we gonna do now?
What are we gonna do now..?

Keep trying

I think if I'd have tried a gnarly crack like that out on some old uni friends, I'd have wrecked 'em with laughter. No ifs, no buts.

I finally got it, thanks!

The issue was dialect.  And the abstraction of "Did they mean 'ah, souls'?  What would that mean?"

[Starver]

Glad you got the keys t'the humour so you could finally see it. Hope it wasn't just me fundementally scraping the bottom of the barrel as much as I could dare, 'ere. Sorry, is that a stern look? Pish tush, please don't mind my prattling on!

In my experience, "asshole" is pronounced with emphasis on the double s, basically "aa-SSS hole".  That elongated hissing sound might, I'm just guessing here, be part of what marks the word as a perjorative in my native South USA dialect.

If the joke was "arse" hole, I would have twigged on that.  But ahhs... yeah, not quite.

[Starver]

You probably didn't get my "a gnarly" thing then, either, and maybe some/most of the others.

My dad was a sailor in the USN and taught me some rope tricks. It's knot exactly my favorite thing.
