Good luck with that one, Hulu people!
Dan Okrent took his joke from Old Jews Telling Jokes and made one of those creepy xtranormal videos out of it. Also, it doubles as a holiday card!
NOW I’m in the holiday spirit.
This is one of my favorite joketeller bios of the year.
Jesse Cohen’s son David writes, “Dad’s always had an interesting sense of humor. I was having a party in my backyard for my tenth birthday. He told me that my Cousin Susie came in for the occasion. I was confused; I didn’t even know I had a Cousin Susie. He informed me she was a distant relation and went to get her. Dad walked back in holding hands with a chimpanzee. ‘Meet Susie,’ he deadpanned, introducing the diapered chimp. My friends went nuts – and so did Susie. She screeched, ripped off her diaper – and took a large dump in the middle of my backyard. Unfazed, Dad said, ‘I told her not to adlib. Oh well, let’s just put a candle in it and sing Happy Birthday.’”
