| learned two things after feeling my first earthquake this afternoon.
First, I need to decide whether to laugh at or be annoyed by those who use Facebook during a notable event to criticize those who use Facebook during a notable event. i.e: “So I guess EVERYONE is going to mention the EARTHQUAKE in their status now?!?!?!” I love irony.
Second, jokes about minor earthquakes are just too easy. You need do nothing more than mention your favorite overweight celebrity falling over and you have your joke. People are so into the event itself that you might even get a laugh.
So with the jokes flowing freely how could I choose just one? Simply put…I couldn’t.
Possible earthquake related jokes:
- Did John Goodman, Kirstie Ally, post-Pittsburgh Barry Bonds, Chumley, a Williamsport crowd, Larry Fitzgerald’s new contract, or A-Rod’s poker bankroll just fall over? Zing.
- We finally discovered something that will stop congress from talking for 20 minutes!
- The earth itself moved more than the Red Sox offense did last night! Okay…I can admit that was a stretch.
- That was more earth-shaking than the Council of Trent! How are these Protestant Reformation jokes working for you? Nothing? Fair enough.
- Upon feeling the Oval Office shake, President Obama hurriedly informed anyone who would listen that he “inherited this earthquake.”
There you have it. Take whichever cheesy earthquake joke tickles your fancy and attribute it to me.
Bazinga.
