Top Ten Fantasies Regarding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

I've upgraded it like you wouldn't believe
Repairs will take about two weeks
The liner could last 100 years
As you know, we have video evidence of antifa cutting the liner with a unicorn horn
We've caught the people responsible, and I've asked Todd Blanche to boil them in beezlenut oil
I've just been informed by the National Park Service that Hunter Biden caused the damage to the liner using his laptop. As evidence, here's a dick pic
Come to find out it was James Comey. He used seashells to cut the liner
Professor Plum did it in the conservatory with a lead pipe
I've just been told it was an attack by the Islamic Republic of Japan, and they used chopsticks made from sharpened metal
Joe Biden did it using his autopen

Commentary

This funny top ten list pokes fun at President Trump's blustery boasting about the results of his Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool renovation and his subsequent efforts to deflect blame onto vandals that he concocted after the project turned into a fiasco. Hey, if he can convince a third of the country that the 2020 election was stolen, maybe he can convince the same dullards that antifa is responsible for the algae and peeling paint in the reflecting pool? Ha!

A few of the items are based on braggadocious things that Trump has said regarding the reflecting pool project (items 10 to 8). The other items are generally riffs on who might have sabotaged the project, how they did it, and what their punishment might be.

The list of dastardly vandals includes the usual suspects: antifa, Joe Biden, James Comey, and Hunter Biden (for old time's sake). Other themes include "things that don't exist" (the unicorn horn of item 7) and a throwback reference to Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who (item 6). For funsies we included a callout to the murder mystery board game Clue, the object of which is to identify the culprit, murder weapon and location of a crime (item 3).

Notice to Readers: Klugmeister has recently been out trying to build an online presence for the klugness site on Medium. He recently wrote a story on Medium about Donald Trump's Zany Press Conference on Evidence of Vandalism. Klugmeister's stories are normally behind a pay wall on Medium, but that link should get you into the story for free as a "friend" of the klugness site. Check it out!

Welcome to klugness.com!

The U.S. website www.klugness.com was launched in October 2022 with over 100 funny top ten lists, and has since increased that number to over 200. The klugness site doesn't include jokes in the traditional sense, but is dedicated to humor using a David Letterman-style top ten list format. A portion of the content focuses on American politics, with the site generally leaning left, while the rest is garden-variety humor ala MAD magazine. We hope you enjoy the site!

This image of "an elderly man asking questions of an 8 ball" was created by Klugmeister using artificial intelligence software. The image was reviewed by Klugmeister before posting on this web page. This image appears on List 282 - Top Ten Responses from the Donald J. Trump Magic 8 Ball.

This home page shows the most recent top ten list. Please check out the full archive of funny top ten lists on klugness.com at All Top Ten Lists. Note these lists were created up to seven years ago, even though the klugness site itself is three years old (we'll be four years old on October 17). The archive page also includes a "List Sampler" table of 18 selected funny top ten lists that will give you a sense of our content without having to tackle all 200+ funny top ten lists. Beneath the "List Sampler" is information about the pictures we've been adding to the site since the beginning of 2023. The pictures are generated using a combination of artificial intelligence and traditional means.

Getting back to the funny top ten lists, we offer a couple of targeted subsets that focus on particular themes. For example, the Trump-Themed Lists are critical of President Trump, so you won't like them if you're a Trump aficionado.

Another theme is the clever May 2020 Now vs. Then series, which consists of 10 funny top ten lists that compare and contrast the initial coronavirus times to historical times in an amusing way (e.g., "stay at home" vs. "rock and roll all nite"). That early pandemic theme was created in 2000, but it feels sooo ancient! Based on viewership of these pages, it appears that most folks are loathe to revisit that challenging period, and we don't blame you!

Note that the themed lists are also included on the All Top Ten Lists archive (i.e., the themed lists are a subset of the full archive), so if you looked at the full archive, you won't find any new material on the themed lists. This handy bit of intell could free up more time for you to gaze at your phone, guess which Trump cabinet member will be fired next, or wonder how much longer the "maybe two weeks, maybe three" war will last.
