Now hold on, nobody ever said my jokes were especially funny, if at
all. They're meant to make people groan rather than laugh.
My favorite joke is one that only two people have even groaned at. It's
going to be impossible to "tell" it in writing; it depends on a homonym
that you can't get in writing. So I'll write it like I want you to hear it:
"How do you get two whales in a Volkswagen?"
Answer:
"Along the M-4."
(Both of the people who groaned, briefly, were British. Nobody else ever
gets it.)
