Have You Heard This One?

But not seriously, folks.

I recall a routine from way back. Mort Sahl gets the credit. I can't remember for sure, but the timing in my head says Mort.

The routine:

The president has this map with all the trouble spots marked in black.

So the president is standing in front of this black map… (rim shot)

Mort does the joke much better than I.

It really will be easier in the forseeable future to list countries not in present or imminent conflict/war.
