Before we get to today's joke, I have a couple things to say. First off, today is the start of the Olympics. They have been hyped to death, so I hope no one is sick of hearing about them already -- you've got to put up with it until February 23rd. I'm looking forward to them, so I put some Olympic MP3's on http://www.brentbutler.com/mp3/ for your downloading enjoyment. Secondly, I have updated my weather page so that it has a great deal of current information. Check it out at http://www.brentbutler.com/weather/. Now, this isn't a joke, but it is funny. I have found my second Walker Award. It's going to the band KISS and anyone who buys/has bought the "KISS Kasket." I heard about it last night on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" when Gene Simmons was a guest. The "KISS Kasket," as you might guess, is a coffin decked out KISS-style. Thankfully, I don't think KISS had burial purposes in mind with its development; it's waterproof. Why, you may ask? It's designed to be used as a huge cooler. Yes, a cooler. If you want to learn more about it (hopefully just out of pure curiosity), visit http://www.kissonline.com/kasket/. I think that's funny enough, but here's a joke anyway. ____________________________________________ The huge college freshman figured he'd try out for the football team. "Can you tackle?" asked the coach. "Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering it to splinters. "Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?" "Of course I can run," said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash. "Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass a football?" The freshman rolled his eyes, hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "if I can swallow it, I can probably pass it." |
