Ladies and Gentlemen,
Mr. Foghorn Leghorn:
Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens?
He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode
Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver.
You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a
hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em.
Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag,
son. Joke, that is.
...and the second elephant said, "No soap, radio!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!11!!!eleven!!!

If you put a duck in a joke, it becomes 15% funnier. It's true. For example, "Why did the duck cross the road?" or "This duck walks into a bar..."
Two ducks are sitting in a bathtub. The first duck says, "Can
you please pass the soap?" And the second duck says, "No soap,
radio!!!"
I dunno, I think elephants are funnier.
Back when Rocky was guv, we used to like to call New York "The
Vampire State."
