   Henny likely told several variations of the joke but the one most cited is:

   The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, “Mrs. Cohen, your check came back.” Mrs. Cohen answered, “So did my arthritis!”

   Comedian George Gobel appeared on a segment of The Tonight Show in 1969. He entered after Bob Hope and Dean Martin and made the comment to Johnny Carson about coming on last and having to follow those two major stars to which Carson, Hope, Martin and the audience came unglued with laughter. After the laughter subsided, Carson asked Gobel about his career in World War II as a fighter pilot to which Gobel replied that he had spent the entire war in Oklahoma, pointing out with mock pride that no Japanese plane ever got past Tulsa which invoked another huge round of laughter. Gobel also began getting unsolicited laughter, being unaware that Dean Martin was surreptitiously flicking his cigarette ashes into Gobel’s drink. Observing all of this, Carson finally asked rhetorically, “Exactly what time did I lose control of the show?!”

   This is a variation of an old joke.

   Two hunters are out in the woods. While crawling under a fence, one of them gets his junk bitten by a venomous snake.

   The first hunter calls 911 and is connected to a poison control center. He explains what happened and asks what he should do. The medic explains to save his friend’s life that he has to suck the venom out of the bitten area.

   The bitten hunter in agony asks “What did the doctor say?”

   The first hunter replied “He said you are going to die!”

   This is typically JJ cryptic. My best guess is that it has something to do with the election but have no idea what the connection to 4:27 is.

    Wow! If JJ’s intent was to generate reader comments, he certainly succeeded. It just goes to show that reader comments have become such an integral part of online comics.
