I personally think the connection is much deeper. Just like Elvis worked for the CIA, my guess is because of his shockingly adept ability to create finantial windfalls from absolutely no effort or ability, MJ is sitting at a desk in Treasury right now directing turbo timmy how to save the nation.

You’d be surprised. Opie and Anthony invited an Elvis impersonator on the show a bunch of years back. They wouldn’t let him on unless he did the songs in the bathroom.

Some listeners didn’t get the joke until they explained the reason.

I wasn’t talking about Elvis. Everyone knows how he died.

That joke was not that obscure unless someone didn’t know Elvis died on the crapper.

Hehe I do like to dabble in obscurity but I’ve learned there is a fine line. A good trick is layer the obscure reference under a more obvious one. Tough to do though but when you get it right, the reader can go back a second or third time and find “new” jokes.

Alex – So true. This must be where the “bigger than life” saying comes in. Maybe you can answer this. All I’ve been hearing -on every channel -is that Jackson was a Popeye Con. I don’t get it.

Chris – Thanks. I always wonder how obscure some of my references are, but you tend to throw out a few memory joggers yourself.

Great joke at the beginning.

‘Some of you may have heard that Michael Jackson died yesterday, thus ending his career too’

Hahahahahahahahaha… that didn’t stop Tupac.
