perfidy

How many Kennedys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Oh, three or four. One to hold the lightbulb and the rest to drink until the room spins.

Johno, those would be funny if the answers weren't so scary or tiresome.

Am I the only one around here that has "election fatigue?"

I now turn off NPR on the morning commute b/c I just can't care any more. I'll still be rolling to the polls at the ungodly hour of the morning to vote, but I just can't listen anymore. Unless there's something really scandalous coming out, it's just hot air disappearing into the ether.

What Mapgirl said.

Q: How many John Kerreys does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Five. Three! Three. Five. Vietnam?

Best. Joke. Ever.

J,
They are funny jokes. "Funny", in the sense of "awful". Like when Jimmy on South Park tells knock-knock jokes.

I'm gratified to see I hit the mark I was aiming for here. There's nothing better than making people shake their heads sadly with one's funny.

The entire reason I make myself giggle at this kind of juvenalia (and what is the point of humor if not to crack yourself up, especially if other people don't find it funny?) is thanks to that wonderful election fatigue syndrome. Nobody who isn't getting paid should have to soak in this putrescence for eighteen months straight. I guess that's the new price of paying attention.
