Stolen Jokes

I was reading Reds: Five things you should know, a part of CBS Sportsline's Reds season preview, and saw this:

5. What's new with Ken Griffey Jr. this spring? His number -- he's changed to No. 3, from 30. The thinking, he says, is that it will honor his three children. What -- he's not expecting to pump out 27 more?

Hmm. That joke seems very familiar.

    Hey, nice catch, Zeldink. I love a guy (or perhaps gal) with a complete mental catalog of all my jokes.

    Except when I reuse them. If you could conveniently forget my redundant attempts at humor, I’d really appreciate that.

    He did it again with the caption of that picture.

  3. Red Hot Mama says:

    OK, I thought it was a coincidence at first, but something’s got to be up, right?

    Damn. Least he could do is link to me.

    Call him on it, lawl.

    I can’t believe that I missed the other stolen joke, too, though. Have you confronted the writer? If so, any response?
