Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.

You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

Stranger: hi

You: hi

Stranger: hows u

You: do you want to hear a joke

You: i’m fine btw

Stranger: yep

Stranger: ok

You: I promise you you’ll find the joke absolutely hilarious!

You: So

Stranger: hha ok

You: Two oranges, tired of living on the west coast, set out across the United States to retire to Florida

Stranger: hmm..

You: They heard that it’s nice there, good weather, and lots of other oranges

You: So the oranges are driving and the first orange turns to the other

Stranger: uhuh

You: “hey man,” he says, “I’m starting to feel kinda tired, do you think we could find somewhere to sleep for the night?”

You: and the other orange says, “Yeah, alright, I’m starting to feel drowsy too, let’s look for a motel.”

Stranger: ok im following

You: So they drive for a bit further and finally come across a Motel Six.

You: They pull in, get out of their car, and go in

You: it’s a nice place; the carpeting isn’t ragged and there’s a small bowl of candies on the front counter. The owner sees the oranges come in and says, “how may I help you today?”

Stranger: ok

You: The first orange says “we’re both travelling across the country to florida, and we need a place to stay for the night.”

You: to which the owner says “I’m sorry sir, but we don’t serve fruits here at the motel.”

You: The oranges are miffed at this, and argue for a while with the owner, but he refuses to budge and the oranges are forced to return to the road and look for another motel.

Stranger: hahaahah i dont understand

You: So the oranges are continuing down the road, and they’re still looking for a place to sleep for the night

You: They see a Hotel Hilton on the side of the road, so they pull in.

You: This place is way better than the last one; the floors are nice, they can see a kitchen across the lobby, and there’s a man playing soft piano music by a fake pond in the center of the skylit room.

You: So they go up to the front desk and ask the man, “excuse me sir, but could we have a room?”

You: The man looks at them, adjusts his glbumes, and says, “I’m sorry sir, but we don’t serve anyone that is orange at this establishment.”

You: The oranges are angry and argue for a bit with the manager but ultimately return to their car defeated and unhappy.

You: “Man,” the first orange says, “We aren’t having any luck. It’s like all these places hate us!”

You: The second orange looks thoughtful for a minute and suddenly a flash of inspiration crosses his eyes.

You: “I’ve got an idea! We need to stop at the next store.”

Stranger: ok

You: So the two oranges drive for a bit longer until they find a store. They park and go in, and come back out with two buckets of red paint, some fake leaves and fake stems

You: They dress themselves up as apples, and admire their own work.

You: “Man,” They say, “there’s no way they won’t let us in now! We don’t even look like oranges!”

You: Satisfied, they get back in the car and drive down the road

Stranger: hahaha

You: they drive for a while until they see a motel 8. They pull in and smugly walk into the lobby.

You: “Sir,” they say, “We are two apples looking for a place to stay the night. We have been traveling for quite some time and are rather tired.”

You: The manager looks them up and down and then says, “I’m sorry sirs, but we only serve Oranges at this particular motel.”

You: The two oranges are shocked. “But why?” they ask. “What is the difference?”

You: The manager looks at them and says “well you can’t compare apples to oranges.”

Stranger: why

You: I hope you enjoyed the joke!

Stranger: bt i dont understand hahahahaaha

Stranger: im really sorry

Stranger: can u explain

You: Sir, a good joke explains itself. And now I must bid you adieu.

Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Nothing like a shaggy dog story that you don’t explain to make another person angry!
