For some reason, this reminds me of the old joke by Rodney Dangerfield
where he notes that when he was a kid, his parents tied a porkchop
around his neck so that the dog would play with him. 8^)

I remember that one! My favourite Dangerfield line is:

"I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster
and a radio."

I suspect that joke predates Rodney.

I doubt that. The Extra still requires a 5 wpm code test. ;-)

but what would he do with it? He seems to be equally

Perhaps he is enjoying what he does here.

HAW!

For some reason I am reminded of an unknown comedian who used to talk about how
bad his mother's cooking was:

"We had the only dog in the neighborhood that would beg at the table for
Bromo-Seltzer"

"In summer, there were usually bugs on the screen door to the kitchen. But our
bugs were on the inside, trying to get out!"

"I was 14 before I realized that pudding wasn't supposed to have bones in it"

Then there are the lightbulb jokes and the yomama jokes.
