That's a great joke.
And the World's Greatest Living Joke Writer (yes, EVEN better than *I* am!), Sir Anthony Jeselnik, was kind enough to suggest an edit:
My joke was originally:
" . . . my girlfriend was RAPED exactly one year ago . . . "
Jeselnik, as dark and dirty as he is (and boy does he get away with it!), told me just after I asked him for constructive advice (regarding editing that particular joke of mine, so that it would no longer be the case that the only people who wouldn't cringe at that joke would cease to be only the comics in the back of the room and the drunken open-minded Midnight crowds), and Jeselnik IMMEDIATELY, after laughing at it, with apparent sincerity, took approximately 2.4 seconds before his Joke Writing/Editing Genius brain told me:
"Change 'raped' to 'attacked.'
It makes YOU less of an asshole, and it avoids use of the 'R' word, WITHOUT taking away any of the funny.
Give it a shot."
Gave it a shot tonight and it KILLED!
Thank you, Anthony!
I love this game!
