Let’s not forget the other injury he suffered on a video set back in the 80s, when an unfortunate script mixup caused him to grab a car window and smash his crotch with a crowbar.

combining/expanding some jokes already mentioned…

Ed dies and st peter give’s him a wish for all that he did for people and animals.  
Ed wished to spend eternity with a bueatiful woman of his era.  
St peter grants Ed’s wish and Farrah dies too.  
For being a good person, St Peter then grants Farrah a wish and whe wants to save all the children. So MJ dies.  
Because MJ died before he could make amends to his soul, and before he can get into heaven he must right his wrongs. MJ is about to ask St Peter What he can do to get the stains out of his soul. Then he gets an idea…

If oxy-clean can’t get the stains out nothing will…

I went to the racetrack on Sunday. The Professional Jockey Association held a Michael Jackson tribute concert in memory of the one who rode the most three-year-olds.

What’s worse than Michael Jackson beating it?  
Michael Jackson and Boy George getting together and beating it until they come-a come-a come-a chameleon.

[For the youngsters in the audience, back in the 80s, Michael Jackson had a big hit with the song “Beat It”, and Culture Club (lead singer Boy George) had a big hit with the song “Karma Chameleon”. The joke is funnier if you speak it aloud, and sing the last few words.]

No. Just pointing out that many people were well-aware of the story behind the song…except for **Mr. Duality** , I guess.

That loud noise you just heard was not thunder. There is no storm approaching. It was Elvis pounding the Hell out of MJ for having married Lisa Marie.

Seeing that Michael Jackson was 90% plastic he will be melted down and turned into lego blocks so that little kids can play with him for once.

Billy Mays heard about Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, and said, “But wait, there’s MORE!”

What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Disney films?
