This is the frayed knot joke, isn't it? It has a prominent place in "Homicide: A year on The Killing Streets" A cop who was shot and blinded in the line of duty makes several attempts at telling it to his old squadmates. He was absolutely Lucky To Be There, okay? Had to learn to talk again and stuff. But still, when he got to the punchline they still said: "Even for a blind guy, that joke sucked." Somehow, I love them for that.

Oof. To complete the girly medical experience, I had a mammogram this morning. I cannot imagine how women with itty bitty tits get enough into the machine for an effective reading. It's definitely a chocolate morning.

Hey, i'm still telling the joke here! Jeez.

... The string goes up the bartender and orders a shot of tequila again. The bartender looks at it for a minute and asks, "Hey aren't you the same string that just came in here a minute ago?"

The string replies, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."

Bwah!

I think it's cute. Of course, I don't have detective-grade levels of ball-breaking experience. It's also in "Motherless Brooklyn" but that version is kinda endless because that character has Tourette's.

Hey, i'm still telling the joke here! Jeez.

Hey, good comedians can deal with interruptions.

Yeah. That's where you tell me you don't stand over my shoulder and tell me what word to type, or something.

Tough Crowd

Hey! I liked it!

(Although strictly speaking, I'm not a heckler. Just a slow typist.) Should've waited till the end, bunk. Sorry. ETA: I like it, too. I just love that story because they didn't treat their comrade Special, that's all...
