I just moments ago made one of the most godawful nerdy jokes I've heard in my 20 years as a card-carrying geekasaurus.
We were poking a bit of fun at my friend's love of children, and another friend said "well, they *do* taste delicious."
Another friend followed up with, "now that's a modest proposal".
And I said, "I guess that would require a...swift action?"
...Anybody do worse?
*face to palm*
:-)
... you combined literature geekery and D&D geekery. That is impressive.
And I thought that a vw beetle with vanity license plate saying FEATURE was the one.

That was just awful! Horrid. Truly, truly horrid. And yet masterfully executed. I tip my hat to you, sir.
"a modest proposal" is a satirical essay by Jonathan Swift about the irish (if memory serves) eating their own children.
EDIT: oh internets, how i loves thee. linky to essay
Thankyew, thankyew folks, I'll be here all night. Tip your waitress.
Thank goodness for public domain, eh oxybe?
Anyone else have funny examples? I really liked the VW beetle one. :P
yup. 
i don't have any ones in particular but my frenchy-ness is often the butt of some jokes as various cross language play-on-words are worked into our sessions, as well a my name (Mark) the cause of some confusion in our 3rd ed game (our GM also happens to be called Mark)
I guess it could be worse - you could be a defender in a 4e game. "Hey Mark can you mark Mark's mook before it minces me?"
I believe that this qualifies for the candidate of "You know you play too much D&D when..." award!

They say people taste like chicken. We taste like potatoes with butter and bacon.
Wow... Just wow.

Yes.
Two friends of mine are working a security post together where they both drive around in company trucks. We'll call them M and D for reference. They were driving and talking back and forth when this conversation took place:
M: Man, my truck has a crappy AC.
D: What? Birds keep hitting you?
M: ...
D: What?
M: Dude...
D: OH...AC...Air conditioning...gotcha.
They laughed so hard they called me to tell me about it.
Haha niiiice.
Another case of "You play too much D&D when"! Haha, this thread is turning out great!
