#2Edit: The actual paper: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0894589/petrovic13unsupervise... (thanks to jaryd - I was certain the page on acl2013.org linked to it last time I checked...)

I like my papers like I like my women - in LaTeX.
(I realise that doesn't fit the rules set down in the paper... or those here on HN to survive title-moderation ;-) )

To be fair, these jokes do clearly follow the 4 points laid out in the article.

Their joke model misses one thing: each noun has to be commonly used in the phrase "I like my ". People often say "I like my coffee black" but nobody ever says "I like my source open." I think that is why they sound weird. But I like the off-kilter unexptectedness.
