Credit Where Due
June 26th, 2009, 5:39pm by MikeI’m sure we’re all saddened by the Michael Jackson news yesterday, but it was the seed for the funniest thing I’ve heard from one of us in a long time — and since it was in a phone conversation between Jake and me, I’ll have to post it here:
(Background for future generations reading this: people are changing the background on their Twitter avatars to green in support of Iranian protesters…)
Jake: I decided not to tweet anything about Michael Jackson dying, since it seems like everyone on Twitter has already posted the news.
Mike: Yeah, I agree. I wonder what color you’re supposed to change your Twitter avatar to in memory of Michael Jackson.
Jake: (without a pause) It doesn’t matter if it’s black or white.
Still laughing just re-reading it.

Thanks man. That’s probably the funniest joke I’ve told in years, and it just came to me! I wonder if if it’s a meme yet? Should we recreate the convo on Twitter?
