How Not to Be Funny

With a tip of the hat to Roger247, comes this delightful attempt at “humor” from Boston.com’s Victor Paul Alvarez:

The FBI says an Ohio bartender planned to kill House Speaker John Boehner last October by poisoning his drink at a country club.

The question is: Would anyone have noticed? Stories about Boehner’s drinking have circulated for years. His drinking inspired a blog called DrunkBoehner, and in 2010 he brought booze back to Washington. Had he been poisoned as planned, perhaps his pickled liver could have filtered out the toxins.

Read the whole thing, if you’re also the kind who enjoys Feminist Improv night at the local hipster coffee bar.

I saw Poisoned Boehners open for Boys Don't Cry in '84.
