Then there’s this one...complete with the drunk act, of course:
“Some of you may not know it, but I’ve been married more than once. In fact I’ve been married THREE times.
My first wife died from eating poisoned mushrooms...and my second wife died from a fractured skull.
She wouldn’t eat her mushrooms.”
See if you can find the Coast Guard small boat safety PSA. It is a real PSA and has me rolling every time I hear it.
Oh God, I did that playing nickel/dime poker with some guys at the NCO Academy. Some one asked me if I had ever been married and I went into that joke,telling it like it was my life, proper dramatic pauses as they were sucked in to my terrible tragedy.
When I hit them with the punchline, the shocked disbelief on their faces was priceless, right before they broke into the laughter of people that had been had, and loved every second of a good gag
