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 . . . .

Remember when he sang this on Saturday Night Live?  "Take it away, Don Pardo."  Hilarious.

Over thirty years old, and yet Frank was describing today's television media so accurately.

Oh, and with great guitar rifts, too.
