[Say what?]

I say:
Are you people serious?  The only positive thing about that book is
that it complies with the truth-in-advertising principle.  It said
it was stupid, and it is.  The home geiger counter is stupid enough
to be funny, but most of the rest of it is just stupid.

You say:
May we have the joke please?

I say:
Well, gosh, I'm not very good at telling jokes.  Well, ok, I'll try.
Lessee, how's that go again?  Oh, yeah:

Seems the Hunchback of Notre Dame got a touch of the ol' wanderlust,
and wanted to do some travelling.  So he bought hisself a pickup
truck and a trailer hitch, and he bolted one end of the hitch to his
new pickup and the other end to his house.  Know what he's got now?
A Quasi-modor home.


[_Science Made Stupid_ is even stupider than that.  Save your money.]
