“But I haven’t even done the joke yet.”
“Yeah, but it won’t be funny.  .....

“And the one guy says to the other guy…”
“Wait a minute — are they gay or straight?”
“They’re straight”
“Good. Are they Christians or Jews or what?”
“They’re atheists”
“Even better. This is going to be so funny now. I can feel it. OK, go ahead and make the   joke.”

Read the whole tickler.
