The truth always does bring the funny

4 Aug

A classic Bill Hicks joke loosely translated:

If you think that drugs have never done any good for anybody, do me a favor. Take all those rock and roll records you love so much and burn them. Everyone that made that music? Really fucking high.  The Beatles were so high that they had to scrape Ringo off the ceiling with a broom.

I love this joke.  The truth always does bring the funny. After repeated viewings of Dave Chappelle’s block party, I have developed a companion joke.

If you think that Christianity has never done any good for anybody, do me a favor. Take all those hip-hop albums you love so much and throw them out the fucking window.  All those revolutionary poets you love so much? Really high on Jesus.  Before every show Common, Kanye, and Talib form a prayer circle and get seriously wasted on everlasting love.

Is that funny?

    But I do not listen to music or own any albums to throw out a window.

    Seriously.

    now I know what it is like to not be the target audience. (sad face).
