Comment Monty Python's Joke Warfare did it already (Score 1) 141
Way back when the earth was flat, Monty Python had a skit where there was a joke so funny that you'd die laughing, literally. The military wanted to use it against they enemies, so they can to translate it into the enemies language (probably German in the skit,I don't recall) but if a single translator was given the whole joke, they woule die laughing before they would write down the translation. So they cut the printed copy of the joke into smaller (non-leathal) sections and had a group of translators translate sections of the joke which was later reassembled into final form. Same principle.
