Just asking...

It's a matter of faith among professional comics that jokes - the kind that involve a narrative setup, some ridiculous details and a punch line - have been displaced by observational humor and one-liners. Lisa Lampanelli, who describes herself as the world's only female insult comic, said that in the business, straight jokes were considered "the kiss of death."

"You don't tell joke jokes onstage ever," she said. "Because then you're a big hack."

Hey, now wait just a minute! Are they calling the Frist Lady a hack?!

NOTE Just in case you missed it, Laura's horse cock joke—Eew!—is back here.
