Attuboy, subby.

Someday, I'm going to find a way to work "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?" into a headline.

But not today.

Joke of the Day:

Did you hear about the skinny guy who went to Alaska and came back a husky farker?

lcurtisl		2009-03-23 05:27:16 PM

That was elaborate, but appreciated.

The Invisible Sky Wizard		2009-03-23 05:28:02 PM

Oy.

NotaNYer		2009-03-23 05:28:51 PM

Well put, Subby. +1

trancemission		2009-03-23 05:29:27 PM

I'm surprised Governor Palin would allow this sort of socialized, government-run healthcare in her state.

Queen Dalek		2009-03-23 05:30:17 PM

subby - you sir (or m'am) should make the Fark top headlines of 2009!!

gft		2009-03-23 05:31:03 PM

bringing no-cost health care and veterinary support to ~~underserved~~ undeserved populations in the Yukon-Kuskokwin Delta region

social moochers - and all because they can see Russia.

chevydeuce		2009-03-23 05:31:24 PM

Me thinks subby has been sitting on that one for a while now....Just waiting for the right story to present itself....

you magnificent bastard you!!

+1 to the nth...

Bleak_Outlook		2009-03-23 05:31:26 PM

BOOOO! *HISS*

/nice headline.

Roosturz		2009-03-23 05:31:38 PM

You grabbed a boisterous laugh from me with that headline, subby

spacermase		2009-03-23 05:31:40 PM

You've been waiting for a while for a chance to use that one, haven't you subby?

KAVORKA		2009-03-23 05:32:26 PM

Approves

yogaFLAME		2009-03-23 05:32:47 PM

Long way to go for an Aleutian joke. Nice.

/WWYD for an Aleutian joke? Would you.. would you kill a man?

H31N0US		2009-03-23 05:33:25 PM

I thought Mrs. Palin said "Thanks but no thanks!" to Federal assistance.

Old_Chief_Scott		2009-03-23 05:35:32 PM

There, but for the graces of any gods that might exist, go I.

golf clap, subby.

Di Atribe		2009-03-23 05:37:06 PM

Terrible. Too forced. But everyone else seems to like it so carry on.

Of course subby has been sitting on that line. My 70 year old mom sent me an email with that and several other dumb puns... Nothing new in the Intertubes.

Richard Simmons		2009-03-23 05:38:24 PM

Went a long way to get there

Joey JoJo Junior Shabadoo		2009-03-23 05:39:58 PM

I thought you tried a little hard on that one, subby. Like the joke that takes too long to get to the punchline.

okaykleek		2009-03-23 05:40:26 PM

Juneau what, I found the headline quite amusing

dragonchild		2009-03-23 05:41:47 PM

I think I'm in the minority, but I'm with Joey JoJo Junior Shabadoo. You gotta reach your punchline before the crowd loses interest, which in Fark is

don't Anchorage him.

jst3p		2009-03-23 05:42:51 PM

I agree. It was a good try, but subby worked too hard to get there.

/just my opinion

K1dCuervo		2009-03-23 05:43:13 PM

A Chinese man walks into an optometrist's office. The doctor examines him and says "You have a cataract." The patient says "No I don't, I have a Rincoln Continental.

Rubberband Girl		2009-03-23 05:44:59 PM

Okay, what is the name for a combination groan and laugh? Because that's what came out of me.

+1, Subby. Now to read TFA...

Bomb Head Mohammed		2009-03-23 05:49:36 PM

Live in an economically unsustainable place and get socialized healthcare courtesy of the blue-state taxpayers who pay well above the odds! Praise Jeebus!

Alien Robot		2009-03-23 05:50:06 PM

I wish the US Navy would fly an optomist in to Washington. They could use one.

t3knomanser		2009-03-23 05:50:15 PM

Unimpressed.

limboslam		2009-03-23 05:52:31 PM

Finally. A new cause.

Raging Thespian		2009-03-23 05:53:16 PM

MUST. NOT. CLICK. +. 1. MUST. NOT. APPROVE. OF. AWFUL. PUN.

GAH! I was too weak!

nygenxer		2009-03-23 05:56:49 PM

Subby's pun FTW!

Burn_Atlanta		2009-03-23 06:04:15 PM

Oh, subby.....

Robot Devil's Advocate		2009-03-23 06:09:22 PM

Hiro Protagonist does not approve.

exparrot		2009-03-23 06:09:39 PM

I heard he didn't go... He just wasn't inuit.

/sorry.

devioustrevor		2009-03-23 06:10:15 PM

Burn_Atlanta: Oh, subby.....

Allow me to help

Jeffrey.Rodriguez		2009-03-23 06:12:31 PM

Any tattoos? On his forehead perhaps?

Surely, he'll listen to reason.

understimulated		2009-03-23 06:19:01 PM

Subby, that was absolutely horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself.

The word you want is queeb.

Robo Beat		2009-03-23 06:24:09 PM

BobNesta420		2009-03-23 06:24:54 PM

trancemission: I'm surprised Governor Palin would allow this sort of socialized, government-run healthcare in her state.

She was initially against it until they said she could fly along with them and shoot some of the residents from the air.

Leopold Stotch		2009-03-23 06:26:46 PM

So back to the article... a two year old with a Cavity? This is dental care of British proportions!

(nice headline, I groaned)

turbokat		2009-03-23 06:26:52 PM

That subby can make a pun like nomeone else.

BobNesta420		2009-03-23 06:26:57 PM

Chucklz: Rubberband Girl: Okay, what is the name for a combination groan and laugh? Because that's what came out of me.

OK, I think this may be similar to the soda vs. pop argument. Queeb or queef? Is this a regional thing?
