I'm not sure if this has been posted before. My apologies if so... "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?" - Chris Rock
I've received this e-mail from all the idiots who send me those stupid "Forwards" with dumb jokes, tales, and urban legends in them. I despise those people with a passion, one of which happens to include my dad.
funny. that's how I got this as well and those fwds really annoy me too. This one happened to be funny so I thought I'd share..
I know exactly what you mean drapg, my mom's constantly sending me crap that I don't even bother to read.
I thought Bark came up with the golfer part too. not the whole thing. But maybe he stole it from Chris Rock. Either way, somebody is using somebody else's material.
Jeffrey Ross said it on Kimmel. The next night Kimmel showed a tape of Whoopi using the same joke on the same night as Ross.
Rock did in fact come up with the first part of the joke, back in July of 2000, but it was only in reference to Eminem and Tiger Woods. It was on the Conan O'Brien show, Conan asks something like, "how ya doin' Chris?" and Rock riffs with that one. During a promotional tour for the first season of the TNT "Inside" show with Barkley, a few months later, Barkley was quoted by Pete Vecsey, neither of them mentioned Rock. Dunno why I happen to know all this crap ...
I saw Rob Schneider on Letterman and he was pretty hilarious, next day I saw him on the daily show and he repeated all the same jokes from when he was on letterman.
I heard George Carlin say something about the US being in a bad way when the top leaders were named Dick, Colon, and Bush. It had something to do with out country being run by a bunch of wusses except one of the letters was a "p".
My favorite is when people forward those virus hoaxes, then someone in the office gets hold of it and starts a panic, forwarding the message to everyone in the whole company. Those are GREAT!!
