Comedy Hall of Fame Inductee #1

"My wife and I had an agreement that we could each pick one person and if the opportunity ever came up, we could have sex with them without repercussions. She picked Tom Cruise and I picked Cindy Crawford. After a few years I suggested that perhaps we should update them. You know, tastes change. So this time she picked Brad Pitt. And I picked our babysitter."

--David Feldman

Re: babysitters. The husbands of two women I know tried that, but without agreeing the "no repercussions" thing with their wives first. Neither situation ended well, as you can imagine.

Nice plan! I'll try it out ... No, wait, our babysitter's a 55-year-old Mexican male. Glad I caught that before it was too late!
