My favorite Carnac(sp?) (Johnny Carson character on the
Tonight Show) Joke goes something like this:

The Answer: "Siss, Boom, Baa"

The Question: "What noise does a sheep make when it explodes?"


Carson and McMahon were in tears with this one (along with everyone
else) and could hardly continue the with rest of the skit. Gotta be
one of the all-time best Carnac jokes.

The Question: Where Jimmy Hoffa? (As in under Giants Stadium)

The Answer: Gin, King Tut and (Dan Quayle) (it's not that one, but...)

and a country-western star!

I remember once when the audience groaned over one of his Carnac-isms,
and Carson replied, "May you walk a mile under a camel". Quite funny
at the time and it got more laughs than the rest of the regular
Carnac material. -BT.
