“Confession-booth humor” A boy goes to confession and tells the priest he's been with a girl of loose morals. “That's a grave sin,” the priest says. “Tell me, was it Mary O'Hara?” “No, Father.” “Was it Kate Dannaher?” “No, Father.” “Was it Kathleen McGonigle?” “No, Father. I don't want to say who it was.” Later, as he leaves the church, a friend sees him and asks, “How'd it go?” He answers, “Well, I got ten Hail Marys, five Our Fathers… and three great leads.”

I'll take a potato chip and EAT IT!!

People have no shame stealing other people's content.

You know, I'm always torn on this. Sure, I get that once you've seen someone else do it, the copycat feels cheap. But does the first person who made it now own the rights to the skit? Should I feel the same way when people retell jokes? Knock-knock jokes, yo mama jokes — should only the person who came up with them be allowed to tell them?
