Sounds like something Uncle Miltie would've done, or Henny Youngman.

What's an old "commie"? Commode Odor?

My 5.25s are long goine -- I got a bunch of 3.5s ariond here just collecting  dust only because my wife hasbn;t noticed them yet!

My main jokes & puns collection is on my IBM(true blue) DOS 486, that I need  help connecting back up (c/w a new 21" CRT for SVGA graphics)

I'd love to get them off, but physically, I'm unable to -- but I'm building up  a nice collection now -- more focused on memes than text, but lots of both,  actially!

For joke returns I think of one oozy I used to have & Google it u p handily  enough. (some times it pulls up my own first use of it in the FUNNY echo back  in the '90s!)

I've spent 4 decades in Fidonet now! (parts thereof, anyhow)
