NIME Jokes Archive

Hi all,

So at NIME '24 in Utrecht, there were a couple music sessions at the beginning of which (due to / thanks to technical difficulties) we collectively started creating / telling NIME Jokes.

To keep this tradition going, and preserve this essential heritage, here is a Topic in which we can archive the best/worst NIME jokes !
