Finish the joke! The only rule (beyond THE RULES) is that it must start with "a Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar." Breaking the formula will result in anvils being dropped. Whining about the formula will result in crotch punches.

I'll start with a couple, but be warned, I recognize my own lack of humor. Would that others could be so honest...

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar. All three make their piloting rolls, but the building still collapses.

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar. THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar, swung by an Atlas. They all get smashed. (BONUS PUN MODE.)

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar. <MAIN JOKE BODY REDACTED> They call their act "the Aristocrats." (Just to get this one out of the way.)

b00m! 

Ok, here goes..

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar...  The fake Thomas Marik counters with a small offensive operation partly out of revenge, and partly to appease certain FWL politicians and their power blocs without giving in to any real demands.

In case that one didn't suck forcefully enough...

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar...

The Marauder says "I'll take a Highball."

The Cataphract says "I'll take a Redheaded Slut."

And the Caesar says "Et Carpe Diem!"

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar... 

It was the Ides of March.  The Dictator and the Republic over which he held dominion never emerged. 

The Brigand was executed for the crime immediately amid public spectacle and great bloodlust.

The strong and noble Kataphractos fought a bitter and protracted war that ended tragically with his death at the side of his lover, the young Capellan Chancellor.  Both were demonized by the Davions for their role in not being victors of the struggle.

...incurring only a +1 modifier from movement.  The Bartender, who won initiative, moved last, taking position with a right-twisted torso in order to fire into the Marauder's back arc with empty tequila bottles during combat resolution.

The Caesar takes out both ’Mechs at the end of round 1, and is henceforth uninvited to any more of their tabletop events.

It was kind of sad; it was like they were hopeless alcoholics, and yet it was woefully detrimental to their duties and maintenance schedules.

A Marauder, a Cataphract, and a Caesar walk into a bar... 

One fan cried out "WRITER FIAT", and it never stopped echoing until the bartender's bouncer's banhammers bumped a bunch of brainpans, and even that didn't stop it, because WRITER FIAT is its own evil entity that feeds upon and gains insidious strength from the fan base's negative fringes, and yet is powerless to make a joke funny against its will, because I didn't mention yet that Hanse Davion had invited all of the above mentioned ’Mechs to the bar expressly as a ruse to distract Max Liao's cousin's experimental tech-equipped regiment into exposing itself in the relatively clear spaces south of the downtown area, where it was neutralized by aid of many MacGuyver bombs and a walkee-talkee in the hands of none other than Justin Xiang Allard!  "WRITER FIAT" again went the common battle cry.

That one's good!  O0   (edit: Most people might be tempted to call these jokes "bad", but I like to refer to them as "slow burners".  Mostly because it kind of makes me feel better about posting my share of them.)

It was a huge rave facility on Kooken's Pleasure Pit.  A single point of elite Jade Falcon Elementals who had previously secured the building took them down with exacting and practiced ease, one by one by one.

It is now said in jest that these five four brave Elementals walked into Remembrance Bars.
