Oedipus in the unemployment office

TELLER: Reason for unemployment?
OEDIPUS: I’m disabled.

T: Please state the reason for the disability.
O: Blindness.

T: (looks up) Oh, I see. I’m sorry. Were you born with this condition?
O: No…

T: Are you claiming worker’s compensation?
O: No. I gouged my own eyes out.

T: OMG! Why did you do that?!
O: Well - I killed my father and married my mother.

T: WTF?!
O: I didn’t do it on purpose!

T: Still! Ugh! … Here’s an AD&D form. Next please!
