If you're going to steal jokes, at least be funny

The Sports Guy's mailbag once again mirrors everything I'm thinking.

Q: I'm 99 percent positive that Randolph and Mortimer Duke recently wagered $1 that they could turn the funniest, most successful stand-up comic into a disturbed bum on the street and turn a random unfunny guy off the street into the hottest comic in the land with TV specials and a feature film. How else can you explain the fall of Dave Chappelle and the rise of Dane Cook? It is the only answer. Looking good Dane Cook! Feeling good Dave Chappelle!

SG: There's still a month left in 2006, but that's the E-Mail of the Year so far.

Dane is completely not funny, but very popular with the kids. Who just haven't heard enough jokes yet.
