I'm not very good at telling jokes. Really. My humour tends to be more situational, observational, absurd. But at least I'm not as offensive (I think) as Yuri, the deranged owner of Klub Ra-Ra-Rasputin who introduces my submission to this week's Contrast Podcast episode of joke intros. Download the hilarity here, but beware: some of the intros are very blue indeed.

Any excuse to post the amazing Weddoes.
Oh, alright. Just one joke: Why is the mushroom so popular? Because he's a fungi to be with.
*Wind whistles, tumbleweed tumbles, crickets chirp*
Fine, have it your way. Watch this instead:

That's one of my most favourite jokes ever!
I think I posted it way back in the beginning along with:
What did the grape say when it got stepped on?
Nothing.
It just gave a little whine.
Hee!
(Sorry about that...)
One of my favourite jokes is actually a parody of bigoted jokes from the Coen Bros.' movie Raising Arizona.
Q: Why did the Polack cross the road?
A: 'Cause he was so freakin' stupid!
Of course, these days in Canada it would be easy to imagine such a joke delivered in earnest by a dim-witted Mountie. Instead of "cross the road", just stick in the words "git tazered" ;-)
(Not that that was a laughing matter. Terrible, what happened. It's the cops, you see, who are the object of mockery, so it's a perfectly politically correct reference. Please don't report me to the thought police!)
THAT SIGN IS AMAZING. WHERE IS IT???
Fil - you are hilarious. also you have a special CD coming to you from me. Dropping it in the mail TODAY :)

no need for the releasing of the hounds. I am back, my friend.
A sad note, but back nonetheless.

Oh, that mushroom joke made me cringe a happy cringe. Good call on the Adicts, by the way - never see enough of them.
P.S. Thanks for the link add, though you shouldn't apologize for lateness, as the blogroll link is a reward that must be earned. You just earned it earlier than I did because your blog's more interesting than mine. Truth!
Cheers,
China
Dearest JaG: Can you hear me cringing??
Dearest Mentok, your verbal contortions have saved you from a virtual tazering... ;-)
Dearest Colleen: Why thank you, ma chere!! I wait with bated breath... The sign apparently sits in Idaho Falls, wouldjabelieveit??
Dearest Nico, hounds are leashed, and sympathy is tendered instead.
Hi China! Glad it was a happy cringe. And I still maintain that I'm late, since your blog, is, in fact, very ace and has been for some time!
