I saw that one recycled into a Jewish joke, but inelegantly,m so I rewrote the  key parts & sent it back to that person -- they hadn't even noticed, but  appreciated the subtleties once pointed out. . .

Lots of jokes g et conveted lazily -- just a simple word substitution for the  main characters, but they miss out on the pronouns throughout -- When I  conmvert a joke (& I do, on occasion, to make it topiocal or to poke fun at a  mate), I do the original writer the justice of maintaining he perspectives  properly throughout. . . (pronoun genders, perspectives, time tenses, etc.)

It's an artform, not a hackjob. . 

& I, being, the bishop of ROM, take it seriously. . .

This one's copy & paste, unfortunately, but it fulfils my standards of funny -- YMMV, FWIW, IMHO, etc.

Tomorrow, NBC premieres the latest entry in (the decline of Western  Civilization--this is in strikeout font) Reality TV genre, The Biggest Loser in which some people do something to win some money or maybe something else. ItÆs  gonna be awesomeùor something.

Any & All work for me. . .

RealityTV is everything but --oh, it's on TV, I'll give it that & only that. .  .
Everyone gets to melt their brains in their own way -- I'm OG (new school "old  school") & do it the oprganic way -- with airplane glue. . .

Now the news is classified "realityTV" which puts it on equal standing with  Honey fleeping BooBoo & the KardASShians.  That's fair, based on how real the  end product is these days -- I miss Walter (That's "Mr. Cronkite" to you  younguns)

Speaking of the decline of CBS. . . 

Coming this fall to CBS, a new sitcom about a pair of actresses living in the  17th Century...
ItÆs called ô2 Baroque Girlsö.

CBS News anchor just nailed a dad joke.
"NASA announced today that it has space for new astronauts."

My dad's regular CBS Evening News joke... "Would you rather be Dan, or Dan Rather?"

I... I don't even know.
