Jackson Death: How do you feel about it?

[lumberjim]

So....tonight I had this really stupid guy in my office buying a car.

And he says...so, I'm buying my new car the day after Michael Jackson died.

And I said....well, that's one way to remember it.....
and he says.....'from food poisoning'


And I have not had time to fart, much less read the cellar for my news updates.....and I say...."Really?! is that what killed him?!"
and he says, "they found 10 year old nuts inhis mouth"

So i start laughing.....cuz i got the joke.....and he delivered it perfectly dead pan.....and i said....man...that's great....first one I've heard.......and, great delivery.....
so he just looks at me and says....'yeah....i still think it was because he was taking too many different kinds of medicine.'

so I'm like.....you get that it's a joke right?.....

and he's all like....yeah...but people take too many prescriptions....and....blah blah blah

he didn't get the joke he heard...and took it as though it was really what 'they' said

I'm still tickled

I texted my Mum the actual joke. She sent one back saying Yu Tinker x. I forget she learned how to text from my 14 year old niece.

The full anecdote is now mine to tell though. I love it. I have no-one else to tell, sadly. But in years to come, when I have friends, it will be mine.

Anyway, to the point of this message...
I was sat in the town centre reading (a library book - resting from walking like a demon in the heat) and I almost-heard a woman reading out Michael Jackson jokes from her phone. What clued me in was the joke LJ heard of course, although it was 6 year old nuts in his throat. But she kept reading them, in a flat voice on and on and on. Nothing worse than a badly told joke, unless it's a badly told joke I can't hear properly.

When I got up to walk away I looked over to where they were. Two women, fag-ashing away. One with a 6 year old, one with a 10 year old in tow (approx ages). And she'd been reading these really quite filthy jokes out like a shopping list in front of them. Luckily they both looked as clueless as their mothers, so my hope is it won't do them any lasting harm.

FTR - anyone else concerned that Jackson Pere is going to be bringing up Michael's children?
