Random memory inspired by recent news:
My parents took me to see the magician Harry Blackstone Jr when he performed in Corpus. His act was full of topical jokes, including one where he showed an empty box or cage and said, “It’s as empty as Fawn Hall’s filing cabinet.”

I (ahem, EYE!) had a Polyphemus joke—but only one.
