The blimp wants to be on David Letterman, unfortunately he is too big to get in the studio, but we told him maybe Letterman would mention him in a joke. To help the Letterman staff out we thought we could submit some potential jokes to them. That is where you guys come in. We are asking blimp supporters to submit jokes that reference the Ron Paul Blimp. Important - the joke should not be about the blimp (even though he does have a very thick skin, just read some previous posts on the forum) but rather should just reference the blimp while making fun of something/someone else.
The joke will start something like this, "Did you hear Presidential candidate Ron Paul has his own blimp?" Now you write the rest using your favorite targets of the day such as Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Fox News, Romney, Paris Hilton, Huckabee, health care, Iraq, Wal-Mart while relating it back to the blimp in some way. For example, "I heard Kucinich has his own UFO"...but that was too easy, I'm sure you can be more creative. Keep the content appropriate for television.
If it all works out, we will list the best ones at www.ronpaulblimp.com and then you guys can vote on the finalists. Then we will send them to the writing staff of the Letterman show. Lets be real, they probably won't use them (saying they don't take unsolicited material), but we'll get a good laugh in the process and maybe we'll inspire the Letterman show writers to write their own jokes about the blimp. In any event, we'll still send out a press release with the top winners so maybe that will get some attention in the media.
By posting a joke you give up all rights to it and allow us to use it in any way we deem appropriate. Well what are you waiting for, the elections almost over, start posting your jokes below.
Thanks!
