As you should know, if you've read the last Announcement, the admins' left us a pretty stupid joke featuring Rancher Bill and an unnamed tractor salesman. The joke was the following:
Quote:
A Stupid Joke For Absolutely No Reason
So there's this travelling tractor salesman, and he heads over to Rancher Bill's place to try to sell him a new tractor. He knocks on the door, but there's no answer. He sees Bill's car in the driveway, so he knows he's home. He tries a few more times, and finally decides to just go around back to look for him.
When he gets into the back yard, he sees Bill standing underneath an apple tree, holding a large pig up above his head. Bill's knees are shaking under the weight, and the pig is lazily chewing apples off the tree. When the pig finishes an apple, Bill carries him to another part of the tree and hoists him up again for another.
"Excuse me," says the salesman. "May I ask what exactly you're doing?"
"Well, sir," says Bill, "I'm just feedin' my pig. He loves apples."
The travelling salesman is incredulous. "Why not just wait for the apples to fall down, so the pig could eat them off the ground? I mean, wouldn't that save a lot of time?"
Rancher Bill contemplates it for a moment. "Yeah, but time ain't nothin' to a pig."
An Apology for the Preceding Joke
I apologize for that stupid joke!

This was the thing that intrigued me the most. As the conspiracy group we are, I think it is our duty to chop this seemingly innocent joke to pieces and discover what the hell's hidden under it.
Another mysterious thing is this character, recently found by one of the GCDers. The lack of [NPC] in his name makes me skeptical, but even so, it is worth noticing: the Train Conductor.
People say he may be a future Battle NPC, what with that notice made from the admins about the free ring. Besides, the art of his avatar is similar to the one of the Battle sprite of Rancher Bill, who (gasp!) was mentioned in a joke today.
So. Agents! Turn on your active imagination and start working on theories! WE WILL UNMASK ALL OF THE ADMINS' PLANS!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
