The Censored Joke
Monday, June 26th, 2006 at 4:43 pmI’ve been waffling back and forth about a mean joke I’ve been telling since Saturday. It was actually up on the blog last night for 3 minutes around 11:00 last night, but decided that telling the joke is far different than someone just reading it. Several people have been asked and the answers have been all over the board from: "No, it’s not mean. A lot of people think that way" to "It sounds like you have something personal going on" to the simple, "Evil!"
I have nothing against the subject of the joke and I have no opinion about who committed the murder since there is a scarily sparce amount of facts in the case. All I know is that a little girl was horribly murdered and it is my hope that whoever did it will have their deed’s bill come due.
So with that disclaimer in place here is the joke:
Patsy Ramsey, mother of the murdered beauty princess, Jonbenet, died Saturday after fighting ovarian cancer for years. Yes, it’s very sad, but at least we can all take a little bit of comfort knowing that she is in a much better place — burning in hell.

UPDATE 8/16/06: Interestingly enough, I just got notification that there has been an arrest and that the person "has confessed to certain elements of the crime". Press conference later today they are saying.

Even if she is in heaven, God forbid (hahahaha!), she’s probably removing the bunions off of people’s feet. Or serving slop in the heavenly cafeteria. Or knitting booties for the heavenly terriers. Or something equally demeaning.
Yeah, I have nothing against her.

Knitting booties for heavenly terriers?? Hahaha! It does make sense since all dogs go to heaven and stuff.

I don’t like people named Patsy or those who live in overpriced Boulder homes, so I think it’s funny either way.
Good job at the library tonight by the way, I’m glad so many people showed up :)

Thanks about the show. It was decent, but nothing to blog about; however, it was great that many people showed up. It was free, I guess. With Snickers bars!
Wait, you don’t like Patsy Cline?? Or Patsy from Ab Fab?

What about Patsy from Improv?

I loved the joke Howard, I immediately thought about how she wouldn’t get reunited with Jonbenet when I heard she had died, as she obviously didn’t go to the same place her daughter did! Isn’t that why she got cancer?

Okay, only people who have come to Monkey’s Uncle shows would get that Patsy reference. You know, I thought about all those things, but didn’t want to go there. You’ve just crossed lines that I didn’t want to. Congratulations!

Cool! I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.
