Scheckism
When I was in the U.S.A.F. our unit had a notebook we passed around that served as our lampoon. People would put in humor and drawings and other bits of foolishness that passed for humor in the American military. My little bits were called Scheckism (from my last name, no one uses first names in the military because they don't print those on your shirts).
Scheckism:
Have you ever noticed that the expression “Who died and made you the Pope?” doesn’t make any sense at all? I’ve been thinking about that all day. I mean, obviously, the person who died must have been the Pope because if not, we wouldn’t need a new one. And the College of Cardinals elects the new Pope—at least that’s the way it was before I got kicked out of Catholicism. So, both questions are answered: The Pope and the College of Cardinals.
