A Joke I Almost Sold For Six Dollars ... In 1981

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"I hate my job.
The only reason I work
is so I can afford
a psychiatrist
and tell him
how much
I hate my job."

who probably had
the greatest repository

    It's a funny joke laced with irony. Whatever happened to it?

      Oliverio says:

      The joke got a few chuckles back in the day
      when I deluded myself into believing
      I could succeed as a stand-up comic.

      That became partially true
      when I was given my own classroom
      and every "joke" was corrupted
      by some math principle
