A while back someone wanted to make sure that a dummy was picked up for an OFC member (Dave, I believe?) and then a totally unrelated comedy thread opened up. Believe it or not, I heard a joke the other day that actually blended the two...

Did you hear about the new book on learning ventriliquism?

Dummies for Dummies.


Ok, I'll be leaving now...don't blame the waitress...

Why is a ventriliquist's dummy like an Ovation guitar ?

Because they both slip of your lap if you dont hold them correctly .

or,why are they different ?

One has a hole in it's back, the other a hole in it's front.

the words "neck" and "nuts" come to mind, but this is enough.

That's probably the wisest defense, Cliff. At least document the fact that you don't know them.

Of course there's always the danger one or two of them might think it funny to call the port authority in some small Carribean island nation claiming a man on a cruise ship playing a plastic guitar is up to something suspicious...

Cause neither one is really alive? It's a highly offensive act.
