Excuse me, I've seen the Gummi Bears.
I have a pair of blue and red stripy trousers I bought from a charity shop purely because of the gummi bears.

i think ten is worse then one dismembered baby
and think of it logistically, where are you going to get 10 babies all at the same time?

oddly
that's what I thought when I read the joke (never heard it before)

it's more of a surrealist punchline, though, somehow.
