15 February 2008Fark blurb of the weekHarsh winters drive away all but heartiest birds. Won't somebody please think of the chilled wren? (Linked to this.) Posted at 7:49 AM to QOTWAfter a pun like that, I need some cold duck. Posted by: McGehee at 8:29 AM on 15 February 2008I hate to inject a little old fartdom to Fark cred, but that pun appears in this month's Reader's Digest in the jokes section. Either someone at Fark is reading that old fogey rag (like me), or they come from a single recent source.

Then there was the night when Leno and Letterman told basically the same joke. No collusion, no leaks: it just seemed kinda obvious. (Slight variations on this theme: "Today marks the beginning of National Condom Week. Now there's a parade you don't want to miss.") Posted by: CGHill at 3:15 PM on 17 February 2008 |
