True, but I wanted it to be clear from the title that it was potentially offensive.

Maybe I should have used quotes instead of parenthesis.

I remember hearing a flurry of dead baby jokes when I was around twelve. Only one had stuck with me over the years.

“What’s the difference between a truckload of dead babies and a truckload of bowling balls”  
…  
“You can’t unload the truckload the bowling balls with a pitchfork.”

Like Cheesecake said, quick hitting and disgusting visual imagery.

> Finally, when he gets to the top he grimaces and says, “Owie, owie, owie” as he sits.

“Holy shit! A talking baby!”

It’s cute, it reminds me of the old joke by Gracie Allen

Gracie) Hey George did you hear the joke about the man who threw a Chinese midget down the stairs 'cause he wanted to pitch a little woo

(OK very un-PC in todays world)
