My Joke Collection (#25)

I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.
—Gilda Radner (Wikipedia)

I concur. What's nice about this joke is the word itch. Complaints about clothes usually go from the bruised feet, bunions, and corns to the expensive price tags to the transatory styles. I don't expect the line to end with itching.

Oddly, itching and scratching have never been fashionable. In some circles expensive price tags and temporary trends are sought after, but bunions and corns? Hmmm, that gives me an idea. Fashion designers: After Earth's population perfects their "beautiful" look with plastic surgery, ugly will be super In. Make a name for yourself right now by breaking away from the fashion pack. Embrace what you help create! Turn hammer toes into glamor toes! Stick a bowtie on a bunion! Adorn a corn!

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
