Or A: Christopher Reeve got the electric chair.
Q: What’s the opposite of Christopher Reeve?

But Rhodesia was super tho, wadn’t it?
I have known a lot of guys who’ve done it. We had a weird football team in high school.
What’s white and comes in brownies?
Roman Polanski
Undoubtedly the joke is about when Michael Jackson’s hair caught fire and he got burned while shooting a Pepsi commercial in 1984. What was topical in 1984 isn’t necessarily going to be so 22 years later.
shrug I’ll let someone else plead for Rhodesia - I don’t know enough about the place to argue about it intelligently for five minutes. But the look of Zim these days suggests that, whatever the problem, the solution may just have been the wrong one.

I’ve already done enough pleading for Rhodesia in other threads; this isn’t the forum to debate about it, but I will say that I do think Rhodesia was super, and I think the displaced Rhodesian whites (those who weren’t murdered, anyway) should be richly compensated both in money and in land. In fact, I think they should get their own independent white Rhodesian state in Southern Africa where they can live and run their farms in peace without fear of being ransacked, raped and murdered by rampaging criminals. I think they were the victims of a war crime and I think the rest of the world ought to be ashamed for turning their backs on them.
Anyway, that joke is completely obsolete now because unfortunately nobody knows what Rhodesia was. In 15 years it will be even more so. Actually, Malacandra, if there is a Rhodesian expatriate organization in England, I would like to arrange a meeting with them while I am there in March because I am trying to put together the makings of a historical project on the topic.
At least there are still lots of jokes about getting Scrod.
[Seriously, is “Pollack Jokes” some kind of Gaudere’s law variant?]
How do you know who a woman will vote for?
Lift her skirt and see if she’s hairy or dewy.
(“Harry” or “Dewey”)
After googling “Prince Albert,” all I have to say is:
HOLY SNAPPING ASSHOLES BATMAN!!!
I gotta start getting out more.
I heard it as a priest and a rabbi. I think the rabbi was checking for his glasses, his wallet, his pen, and that his fly was zipped.
Whoosh.
Actually, no whoosh. I didn’t know about MJ getting burned until I saw cochrane’s post. Thanks to him I now understand why this was an obsolete joke in 06.
Well it’s better that way anyway. She’s much too young to have a job.
and I always heard it this way:
Did you know Princess Di had a dandruff problem? Yeah, they found her Head & Shoulders in the glove box.
Princess Di was on the radio.
On the radio, on the steering wheel, on the dashboard…
What was the first thing to go through Princess Di’s mind during the car crash?
The steering wheel.
That one doesn’t get old, you just have to change the names.
That’s exactly what I did on the night Princess Di died. I just inserted her name for Princes Grace’s.
The way I heard this joke, it went like this…
Q: How did the police know that Jeffrey Dahmer had dandruff?
A: They found Head & Shoulders in the shower!
'Nother Dahmer joke…
Q: Why did Jeffrey Dahmer keep his victims’ testicles in the refrigerator?
A: Because “Sometimes you feel like a nut…sometimes you don’t!”
To say nothing of John Wayne Gacy jokes…
Q: Why did John Wayne Gacy keep the heat on all year long?
A: Because it was 33 below in the basement.
Jeffrey Dahmer to Lorena Bobbitt: “You gonna eat that?”
Jeffrey Dahmer got out on bail, but it cost him an arm and a leg.
