The "Listen Carefully" joke started on FR a few years back. I know, it's been posted a lot, but I figured it was cool that it got listed on the "50 funniest" of one of the most popular magazines in the world.
Here was where the joke originated. (If I have no other claim to fame in my humdrum life, I can at least take credit for a few silly jokes.) It's interesting how it evolved:

(I don't think any DU joke ever made it to Reader's Digest top 50 list. Unless they think "Bush is not just evil--he's also stupid!" is funny. Sure, that probably cracks them up in Ithaca, but still...)
Congratulations! I thought it was great!

Great joke!
hahaha. now I get it!
I so love that joke but it is possibly real : )))
Seriously though I tell it often whenever the 72 Virgins come up I say its Virginians the Founding Fathers..always gets a grin : ) even from American hating libs.
Thanks, Howlin!
I've always said there was a good reason those 72 were still virgins.
Absolutely!
LOL!!!!!!Now that is humor. Thanks.
that's funny!
It had spread all over the Internet by the time Williams picked it up. I suppose I could ask for royalties, but he tells the joke better than I ever could. :)
