The Guardian Weekend on Saturday was a special issue devoted to comedy that managed to avoid being in the least bit funny. The entire magazine featured one decent joke, from mediocre Irish comic Jason Byrne, which I paraphrase here because the Web site sees fit to omit it:

A salesman knocks on the front door of a house, only to be confronted by a small boy in a dressing gown, smoking a cigar, and sipping from a large glass of brandy. "Hello, little boy," says the salesman. "Is your mother or father in?" The little boy says, "Does it fucking look like they're in?"


Ah well. You had to be there.
