[for this joke, pretend that Sophocles didn't write this Greek tragedy, and instead it was written by Euripides (c. 480- c. 406 BC)]

*ahem*

"Oedipus Rex? More like Euripides eyes out!"

@SirEviscerate Looking for words here...ummm...probably the most, what, arch? joke I'll see today. Cerebral? Reminds me of a joke I read on #JohnMastadon a few months ago:
Judge: "You're guilty...pay $500"
Italian accused: "Ohhh..."
Judge: "It's a fine"
Accused: "No...it's-a not-a fine"

@SirEviscerate I had to consider for a moment, but I've made Ship of Theseus jokes on here, so I'll allow it.

Well done.

@SirEviscerate You heard of the two Greek tailors Euripides and Eumenides?
