Jennings killed a man!

Didn't you hear? He killed a man down South once. I'm shocked and appalled this isn't national news, and it is only that check from Sony that is keeping him out of jail!

Hi guys,

I think that was one of the funniest things Ken said during his run! I know this makes me sound like an idiot, but it was dinnertime, and I nearly had tea coming out my nose...My husband didn't appreciate it. :roll:

I heard Ken killed him just to watch him die. But then he turned away and missed it. Sure his friends tried to describe it, but it wasn't the same.

I once shot a man with a paintball gun, just to see him dye.

Ken didn't just kill a man... he killed Freddie Mercury.

Okay...I've been a member of this forum for approzimately 15 seconds, and I already laughed loud enough to make the person in the office next to me wonder what I'm doing. Good stuff....I think I'll like it here.

paint ball guns?

Postby VirgeZ » Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:48 am

when I was young we didnt have paint ball guns. WE used to shoot each other with Red Rider BB guns.

I shot my cousin in the hand. I beleive he still has a bb in between his index and middle knuckle. I watched him suffer.

I once threw a dart at my brother, hit him right in the toe, and then tried to stop him from crying loud enough to notify my parents. Didn't work.

A nd my favorite Queen song was the first one I ever heard: "Keep Yourself Alive". (okay, that belongs in the Iconoclast thread too) Didn't work out for you, did it, Freddie?

oh man! I totally remember when he said that on Jeopardy! I remember laughing hysterically and my parents looking at me concerned. Sigh, good times :)

My cousin did this and one of his friends wound up with a bb lodged in his chest. The doctor said? It would be more dangerous to remove it than to leave it in. How's that for a souvenir?

No, that was the man he killed in Reno.

So? As long as Elvis's Alien Baby is still OK, I don't really care all that much. :shock:

Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and Ken killed a guy with a trident.

You guys started worrying me... I had to Google "Steven Wright paintball" to make sure that he had NOT said it before me.

Here are a few he did:
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.
So, what's the speed of dark?
If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
How come abbreviated is such a long word?
Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.

No worries, my friend. I didn't mean to imply plagiarism...only that your comments "sounded" like something Steven Wright would say.

I really like his style of dry humor...extra dry...as in shaken, not stirred.
Obviously oblivious and Proud of it. Using only half of my IQ just to keep it fair.
