    Heard on AM1060 Calgary Comedy Radio: Larry the Cable Guy was on a bus, went to the back to take a crap, & discovered there was no toilet paper, after he'd finished, so he went to the front of the bus & told the driver, "There ain't no toilet paper back there."

    The driver replied, "There ain't no toilet on this bus!"

    He was madder than an albino trying to hitchhike in a snowstorm.

    I consulted my Psychic Gauze Pad about Trump's trial: "What will happen if he's found guilty?"

    PG: On his first night, his giant cellmate will offer to show him why it's called 'The Pokey'"

    A old favourite ofmine from the early '90s:


    In a recent magazine poll, readers established "waka" as the proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters < or >. The following poem appeared recently in the magazine.

    The text of the poem follows:

    < > ! * ' ' #
    ^ " ` $ $ -
    ! * = @ $ _
    % * < > ~ # 4
    & [ ] . . /
    | { , , SYSTEM HALTED

    The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, as such:

    Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash, Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash, Bang splat equal at dollar under-score, Percent splat waka waka tilde number four, Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash, Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH!

    Time for me to write a dad joke, inspired by a recent dictionarycom contest's parameters:

    Q: Why did the dictionary cross the road?

    A: The chicken needed to clarify how a man could be laying bricks over there.
