Reminds me of an old joke....
Revised for the occasion.
Jack and Jill were two very fine reporters for the Kansas City Star. But times were tough.
One day the editor called Jill into his office and said; “Times are tough. I’m afraid I have to lay you or Jack off.”
Jill said; “Well you’re not laying me, so you better start....”
The way I heard it was:
Jill replies, “Well you’re gonna have to ____ ___ ‘cause my ride’s already here.”
