Oddly enough, something like 88% of all English-language knock-knock jokes were written by William "Shaky-Toes" Shakespeare. |

Was it on Saturday Night Live that he did this and there was actual slime dripping from the monitors? Anyway, more Frank!! Something from Sheik Yerbouti, please, or Joe's Garage . . . .

Over thirty years old, and yet Frank was describing today's television media so accurately.
Oh, and with great guitar rifts, too. |
