This is just too bizarre not to share.
This morning on the way to work, I stopped to get gas. So I’m standing there pumping gas, and a Honda Element rolls up, stops, and a guy sticks his head out the window. I’m wondering, “Oh, geez, what stupid sexist thing is he going to yell?” and thinking how apt Jenny’s post was.
But then the guy yells, “Hey! You know what happens if we elect Barack Obama?” I’m so stunned that I can’t resist yelling back, “What?”
“It’s an Obama-nation!” he says triumphantly, and drives off.
I rolled my eyes dramatically but then realized I was wearing sunglasses, and anyway he hadn’t bothered to stick around for my reaction.
But, WTF? I don’t have an Obama sticker on my car. I forgot to wear my “I Love Obama” 10-gallon hat today. So what made this dude stop and yell this joke (I use the word loosely) at me? And who yells jokes out of car windows, anyway? Was he just driving along, and suddenly thought of this great joke that blends timely political commentary with linguistic amusement, and just couldn’t keep it to himself?
What a weird way to start the day.

Perhaps he’d been up all night on coke and just had to share his great new joke (that he came up with at 4 a.m.) with the world …
I still don’t know if that’s a good joke or a bad joke. Clearly, it’s a bad joke, but you know what I mean. It’s difficult to decipher the intent. Calling something an abomination isn’t exactly flattering.
And to be fair, who am I to call something a bad joke? I crack up over A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
oh dear. that was so bad it was good. but then i love awful punny jokes.
FTR, “A dyslexic man walks into a bra” just made my morning.
