My Joke about Heidegger

I'm pretty sure I thought this up on my own.  I don't think I heard it anywhere:

Q  Why is Martin Heidegger the Bill Clinton of Continental philosophy?
A  Because they both want to know what the meaning of "is" is.

Get it?  Get it?

(I did a couple of web searches and it turns out several people have already thought up variations on this joke.  Damn it!  Not fair!  I didn't even know who Heidegger was back when that whole Lewinsky thing was happening!)
