@cmconseils @frumble Funny story. I wrote the joke back in 1974 when I was a young comedy writer for Billy Sullivan and his troupe of up and coming comics. At the time, we were doing the Catskills Comedy Cavalcade with Rita Hornberg, Chat Homerson, and the mime team of Rourke and Jimmy Hewell. Billy and Chat ended up working as writers for the Batman TV show and I sold him that joke and others for $25. I never imagined it would end up as a meme a half century later on the Fedi.
