Chuck said (in an email)

I would be better off if I didn’t know about the site. It’s hard to perform under pressure. I need comedy Viagra. I’m pretty sure I could come up with something just plain offensive without a second thought, but funny is tougher. Especially since you’re putting it up for the world to see. No sex jokes, racial jokes, religious jokes (don’t want some mullah coming to the house with visions of all those after-life virgins, and who the f*ck is stuck as a virgin in the after-life anyway. F*CK that shit), political jokes, can’t talk about people who might actually read it (your mom, my sisters, my bosses, the neighbors, your friends, my friends, my coworkers, your coworkers, the kids…). I’m stuck trying to write clean pirate jokes about my dad. Maybe you should call it “Chuck would’ve said… …if he weren’t a douche.” And you can just make stuff up. Or how about “Jack said” He’s funnier anyway.
