That reminds me of this classic:

  My wife asked me why I was carrying a gun in the kitchen
  I said "Rogue AI"
  My wife laughed
  I laughed
  The toaster laughed
  I shot the toaster

> I shot the toaster

If it was the toaster from Red Dwarf, I wholly approve.

I toast, therefore I am.

Would you like some toast?

How about a waffle?

Given that God is infinite, and that the Universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?

I DON’T WANT ANY TOAST.

So you're a waffle guy?!

> I shot the toaster

This line has been added at some point and ruins the joke. Finishing on "The toaster laughed" is funny because it's unexpected.
