There's two reasons why I didn't watch the royal wedding.

They're called TESTICLES!!!

Some punchlines are created out of desperation. If Leno thought this
was the best line he could come up with about the royal wedding,
then....he's offering his own body for laughs.

Ripped off from an earlier Letterman joke about the second "Sex In The City"
movie.

That's a bit of a reach, isn't it?
If two talk shows come up with the same joke by chance, that would be a
coincidence.
Stealing material is not "honored".
Knowingly repeating material night after night is lazy.

==============================

So I guess you repeating that by double posting was lazy too?

Let me just suggest that if you are monitoring all these shows...you have
just a bit too much time on your hands friend. As for "repeating" the same
material...when you do topical humor...a lot of folks will come up with the
same or at least similar "jokes" on any given topic. This ain't brain
surgery...and if it were...the same techniques are "copied" all the time
too.

It's simply NOT that frigging important.

Why do certain people just make up their own shit??
At what point did I say that I "monitor all these shows"?
Where would you ever draw that conclusion from what I wrote?

As for the double posting, it's the server.
Deal.

When it comes to Jay Leno, desperation is one emotion I wouldn't put
on my list. But I am interested, in a kind of analytical way, in the
construction of a joke. And I really don't want to have to think of
the tentacles of any particular comic. It just doesn't make me laugh.
Craig Ferguson, of course, if so completely over-the-top sexually in
the comedy sense, that he uses words I have never heard of before to
describe the gentles. He's obsessed. And funny. And pointy.

I don't know if "balls" would've been funnier in Jay's case, (it's a
bit more blatant,) but in any case, let's keep the jokes above the
belt unless it's an unusually witty use of the word testicles/
tentacles. As Mel Brooks once said, "You have to be gentle with the
genitals." And I am NOT after anyones tentacles. I'm not Octopussy. :)
I'm just a kid listening for a good joke about the royal wedding. Make
fun of Wills' uniform or bald spot. Maybe make fun of the Queen's lack
of expression. But leave your balls out of it. This wasn't the World
Series.

This message will self-destruct in due time. Good luck, Mr. Bond.
