The viper is coming! The viper is coming!

Remember that joke? From humble beginnings in schoolyard comedy, this joke became the basis for an episode of GI JOE.

yeah, I know, I'm not making sense. There's a guy, hanging outside of the window of my apartment. A window washer, I presume. Blasting water at the floor to ceiling windows around the perimeter of my entire suite. And this curious happening brings to mind a joke from my youth, where someone gets a message that "the viper" is coming, at 3:00 (arbitrarily picked time). So the protagonists of the joke is all freaking out, cuz "the viper" is coming. So, the clock strikes 3:00, and it's not "the viper", but the window "wiper". Get it? Get it?? (I know, I totally didn't tell it right. But dammit Jim, I'm not a doctor! I'm a mere comicker, not a comedian!)

And this became the premise for a classic episode of G.I. Joe. ?(Read the transcript here) Which rocked. They had some great, messed up stories back in the day.

What happened to cartoons?

le sigh.
