So when I was a kid, my dad used to do this thing where he'd have my brother and me come up with the best-worst jokes we possibly could and compete to see who could make him laugh. This was mostly a 'shut the fuck up and let me drink in peace,' mostly because he'd be passed out by the time we actually came up with something to give him, but Cam always
always won. (Winning was usually decided by whoever Dad
didn't throw hi grunted at least aggressively first.) I usually just spent too much time messing around and pulled something out of a stupid joke book -- Cam was the funnier one.
When I was in Paris, I heard one that I thought was pretty great in exactly the dumb way I always liked as a kid. "Two cats are competing in a race across a river. One is American, called
One-Two-Three, and the other is French, called
Un-Deux-Trois. Only the American one made it across, unfortunately -- Un-Deux-Trois cat sank."
I'm not sure what made me think of this, but
here we are. [ Elsa ]Are you responsible for the very Isaac-shaped ice sculpture? Because it's most definitely the coolest I've ever looked, pun intended.
