the last book I ever read (Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir by Norm Macdonald, excerpt twelve)

from Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir by Norm Macdonald:

Steve Lookner had submitted an early joke. “Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts are getting divorced. Insides say the trouble began because he was Lyle Lovett and she was Julia Roberts.”

I sure loved that joke. I’d never heard a joke where the premise and the punchline were so close.

“Exactly,” said Downey. “That’s what I was getting at when…” But I glowered at him and he cast his eyes down. If he wanted to listen to his Sex Pistols records, he could do it at home.
