There was a hung parliament in the UK election, and everyone made the same joke

We're all grown ups here...

... but that doesn't stop us from making jokes of even the most serious of circumstances. With the future of the U.K. government, the combined population of the internet could not stop tittering at the phrase "Hung Parliament". Stop laughing in the back there you, this is serious! Which isn't to say we don't appreciate a well-endowed joke as much as the next person..... well-endowed with humour, obviously. What did you think we meant?
