I am outraged by the latest turn of events for Dean. This venerated public figure deserves better than to have Sara Lee drop Dean as Sausage Spokesman.

Ha! What a classic joke! This is funny because I have used the time honored comic device of "SURPRISE AND INCONGRUITY. You were expecting me to talk about the surprising upset of Howard Dean but no, I was talking about country musician Jimmy Dean you were surprised, weren't you? Then you found your surprise amusing, didn't you? HO HO Ho ho ho!

Boy howdy, nothing is funnier than explaining a joke. Its just like in High School English when you analyze poetry to better understand how emotional and spontaneous it is.
