knock-knock

Fucking hell, on second look that last post reads like a high school essay trying to be quirky. Or a John Kerry speech without a joke.

Some asshole is claiming to be my brother, and so is this guy. He’s Canadian, so it could be true. Most Canadians are related. But on reading his work he seems far too happy…unless he’s delusional, that would make more sense. Could be he was adopted. Maybe it’s part of a complicated John Kerry joke.

A botched joke. And what is to become of the poor joke, deformed and retarded and abandoned by it’s creator, now a writer for John’s Farming News in Oxnor, Illinois? Can’t have bad jokes running free, spawning puns, caricatures and hastily thrown together SNL bits. Bits that go on and on for like 12 minutes circling around the same joke until it’s rubbed raw and begins to chafe. The botched joke will be euthanized and dissected, a new course will be offered in community colleges

JOUR 330 – Advanced Speech Writing: Avoid classic traps in speechwriting such as giving a politician a joke or other phrases requiring a personality.
