In Unfunny New Brunswick Humour Senses You

And you thought DJF jokes were easy and tired.

New Brunswick's The Beaver Examiner has hilariously informed its readers that on the heels of A.J. Burnett's departure from Toronto, J.P. Ricciardi "announced that Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi has been made part of the team's starting rotation." Al-Azidi is the most famous Iraqi in the world (sort of like being the best looking girl Stoeten has ever dated) after chucking his shoes at George W. Bush while quoting the Elijah Dukes refrain, "Take this goodbye kiss, dawg."

Upon further investigation though, the report is nothing more than a GETZKEE. Oh man, those New Brunswickers really did it this time. This type of edgy, topical humour is usually left to the irreverent late night comedy brilliance of Jay Leno.

In other news:

If General Motors is successful in landing an economic bailout package from the U.S. government, J.P. Ricciardi should look to hire GM Chief Financial Officer Ray Young to negotiate payroll numbers with Rogers.

After signing such a lucrative deal with the Yankees, A.J. Burnett is likely to become the Bernard Madoff of Major League Baseball.

The Toronto Blue Jays suffer from more mismanagement and leadership issues than the Georgian military.

The Matt Clement signing could prove to be a better deal than most Somali pirate transactions.

Oh yeah! On fire today.
