This is a recent comic strip from the Los Angeles Times.

Probably kick my ass.

I don't like those twist endings.

Who knows what we'll be able to do when we learn to make more use of it?

Some of you would call me a psychopath,

Just unlock you and adios, huh?

The way you keep driving this car, you're liable to entice yourself right into the chair.

Hey, lieutenant, hold it. I better go with you.

A point that you'll be arriving at sometime in the near future?

Hell, I'm sure now you can even use it as a little twist in your story.

Storytelling (Laughter) is joke telling.

Besides, if you go now, you will be caught within 48 hours.

Economy of language is another real strong suit of great comedy.

We agreed to change the dye story.

If you go on drinking so much, you may well end up an alcoholic.

But it's when you put all of these elements together when you get the viral appeal of a great joke with a powerful punchline that's crafted from honesty and integrity, it can have a real world impact at changing a conversation.

I was in Los Angeles the day after it happened and then I was in Washington D.C. two days after that.

Thinkers and philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Hobbes, Freud, and beyond, including anyone misguided enough to try to explain a joke, have pondered it, and no one has settled it.

People would say, Did you hear the joke about the guy who made a small fortune in the space industry?

Now it's not often that I'm going to associate the words honesty and integrity with Limbaugh, but it's really hard to argue with that punchline.

This is a Scottish castle where people are playing golf indoors, and the trick was to bang the golf ball off of suits of armor which you can't see there.
