    Taxicab Passenger: (dejected) I draw political cartoons, but I can't sell them.

    Judd Hirsch as Alex Rieger driving cab: (thinking he may have someone to give his donation to) I love political cartoons, can I see one? (pulls his cab over)

    (Passenger hands over portfolio)

    Hirsch: Ok... let's see... It's Uncle Sam and the Russian Bear...

    Passenger: ...and??

    Hirsch: ...and... they're looking at each other...

    Passenger: ...and??

    Hirsch: ...a... they're angry...

    Passenger: ...AND??!!??

    Hirsch: ...so... you're saying the US and Russia don't like each other?

    Passenger: (grabs back portfolio) There! Was *that* so hard?!?

    Hirsch: (drives away, knowing he won't be giving his donation to this guy)

  7. joe   18 years ago

    I don't get that kind of subtle humor.

  8. David (not that one)   18 years ago

    Two elephants were setting in a bathtub, and the first elephant said "Can you please pass the soap?"

    ...

  9. Johnny Nowhere   18 years ago

    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.

  10. David (not that one)   18 years ago

    ...and the second elephant said, "No soap, radio!"

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!11!!!eleven!!!

  12. Brandybuck   18 years ago

    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..."

  13. David (not that one)   18 years ago

    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.

  14. joe   18 years ago

    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

  18. Marcvs   18 years ago

    Oh my god make it stop.

  19. David (not that one)   18 years ago

    ...what do you call your act?

    "The Aristocrats!"

  20. kevrob   18 years ago

    Back when Rocky was guv, we used to like to call New York "The Vampire State."
