First, let me say that I didn't actually write this joke. I just took an old joke and swapped out the punch line.

Now then....

-------
A man walks into a joke shop.

"How may I help you, sir?" the store owner asks.

"I'm looking for a novelty rat," the man replies.

"I have just what you need."

The owner reaches up to a high shelf, and takes down a large rubber rat.

"It's the best one I own. Five dollars for it."

"Sold!" the man answers.

The sale is made, and the man walks out of the joke shop with his new rubber rat. But on his way home, he looks behind him, and he sees a small group of rats following him. He tries to shoo them off with no avail, so he walks faster. As he kept walking, he looked behind him, and there were about a hundred rats behind him. He started to run. After a little while, there were thousands of rats following him.

So he gets an idea. Maybe if he gets rid of the rubber rat, the real rats will leave him alone. He throws the rubber rat into a nearby pond. The huge swarm of rats follow the rubber rat into the pond, and they drown. Every last one of them.

The next day, the man returned to the joke shop.

"Ah, sir," the owner says, "you have returned! Did my novelty rat serve you well?"

"Yes it did, as a matter of fact," the man replied. "Actually, I was wondering if you could help me again."

The store owner asks the man what he needs, and he replies "Well...I was wondering if you had any novelty Judy Tenutas..."

Wow, Chris! I'm honored!

Praise from Caesar. Well deserved, at that, too.

I second. That's a funny. Doing a play-on-words that includes a show, or host, or whatever, isn't a joke. That's a category title for WBSM, or in most cases, Pyramid.
