Reminds me of my favorite Norm Macdonald joke:

"In music news, Number 1 on the college charts this summer was Better than Ezra. And at Number 2: Ezra."

Wait, really?
I've never heard that.
That's hilarious.
And thanks for stopping by.

As a teenager in the 90s, I was legally required to watch SNL, back when it was still funny. Here's my other favorite quote from Norm's "Weekend Update":

At a press conference this week, FAA officials studying last year's crash of TWA flight 800 announced that they have pinpointed the cause: a frayed wire leading from the jet's fuel tank. According to the investigators, the wire became frayed when it was struck by a missile.

A little context: TWA flight 800 crashed into the ocean after it exploded midair. Eyewitnesses saw what looked like a missle hitting the plane, and radar imagery seemed to confirn it. However, the FAA blamed the frayed wire in the fuel tank.
