These days, at least according to the Internet, about the only things you can make fun of and get away with it are Mormons and fatties. Heck, given what’s happened in Japan recently with the earthquake and tsunami, you can’t make jokes of any sort – especially if you’re a talking duck – or write shows that have nuclear power as a plotline.

“Pancakes?” repeated the psychiatrist. “Certainly not. I’m fond of them myself.”
“Are you?” she queried brightly. “Then you must come over to my house. I have trunks full of them.”
Yup, that’s a zingah!
