Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! I can't believe you did that! No wait! I can believe it. A million plagues on you DC! May a thousand camel fleas inhabit you forever!
Julie,
I want you to know that it hurt me worse than it hurt you. Really. Now, how did we get started on this joke? I can't remember.
Okay ... now you can steal the punch line. (Vincent Price laugh.)
Maybe we need an alternate ending contest? I mean, I hate to see good humor come to an end.
The whole thing happened in Brownsville, not California, and the whole "joke" was originally a Hank Snow song.
DC, you've stooped to new lows.
Goomba,
If you told that joke in Brownsville, TX., no one would be left to hear the punchline. But the Californians, they hang around.
Oh that's just not right. That's not right at ALL! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!!
Noooooooooooooo........
Oh, I see. This is one of those Texas dreams, like on Dallas. When the father wakes from the dream, the son will be standing in the shower, just like Bobby Ewing.
Right, DC?
We had *faith* that you'd rise to the occasion 
and do the right thing! But nooooo....
I forgot that you're an old guy and can't remember how that started. I'm sending sympathy daisies right now. (with nasty stinging waspies in them)
Yes, a contest for a *funny* ending would be a great idea.
And no, you're right, Texans don't have an attention span that long. You lost the Texans after the words "the son got A's in school".
Gaye, I am sorry to report that the son was not named Lazarus.
As for the Californians ... I am glad to see you all dismayed. I mean, the ending was funny for those of us who saw it coming (about two weeks ago). You will be glad to know the following ... the whole thing is the fault of California.
And ... yes, the Texans immediately shut down any story about straight A's. Complete jealousy and an inability to relate.
I would have replied sooner but I've been Googling ping pong balls all day.
DC, this is not the way to teach me patience...
David,
You are the man ... There goes Ohio again, blazing trails, just like y'all did with the Rove Hack-o-tron. Excellent work, my man.
Hey, nobody outside the borders is supposed to know about that Hack-o-tron.
If Jesse Jackson comes back in town all because of a careless comment on a 'Ye Olde Ping Pong Tale' thread, you'll really be in trouble.
Jeeze,
I don't believe anyone didn't know the end of this one. The joke that I found on Google was about red and blue ping pong ba...table tenis tes...crap, they were blue and red.
Not to be a smartass (No, I'd never be a smartass. 
), but my impatience lasted me about an hour from when DC completed the first night worth of joke.
So, exactly how many of you feel had now?
Jeez Jeremy, cheating must run in our family. I googled it too. But hey! We didn't tell anyone!
At least y'all are honest cheaters ... Thanks for keepin' a lid on it.
Well, sure but that would have ruined the telling, no? I wanted to see if DC would give it a Texan twist. Which he did.... sort of.
Texan Twist? That's what you call it when a cowboy's chaps start ridin' up.
Actually, the California chafe is where the WalMart bag starts giving blisters on the upper/inside of the thighs. That's what Blue said in his statement to authorities. Developing ...
DC wrote: "the whole thing is the fault of California." Would that be the San Andreas Fault or one of the other "rockin'" faultlines? :D
Ha ...
Lindalu notices the equisite usage of the pun. Actually, God put the San Andreas there because of California's faults, as I understand it. But that's just me ...
