This is the bucket that I use to throw all of my ideas into. It can get messy, going into this bucket, but it's also full of doodles, stories, dreams and coffee cake.
The reason why this isn’t funny is because of there is no connection between Jules and the other various ingredients in this… joke… such as the telegram, the 19th century, freak weather,or the concept of time travel. There should be some connection somewhere to create the sense of irony, or whatever it is that we’re supposed to feel, when ‘getting’ this joke. Simply juxtaposing late 20th century ebonics into a 19th century setting doesn’t do it. You could have used ‘anonymous black gangsta type dude’ instead of Jules, and the joke would have been exactly the same. That is, not funny.
umm..nevermind
