Comedians Should Rule the World



Should Rule the World; 
Instead of the Clowns 
We’ve Got Now!

Jerry Seinfeld 
would make the best key witness. 
Hed point out every minute detail of the crime scene. 
And cheer up the grieving family and friends 
of the murder victim with his hilarious wit.  

Woody Allen 
should have the launch codes for the nuclear missiles. 
That way the world would never be destroyed. 
He’d contemplate and worry too much 
to ever hit the fire button. 

Betty White 
would make the perfect assassin. 
She’d invite you over for dinner 
and entertain with hilarious anecdotes 
from her extensive TV comedy career. 
You’d have so much fun, 
you wouldn’t realize until the very end 
that her chocolate pudding 
tasted a bit like strychnine for a reason. 
You enjoy chocolate before you die; 
and you die laughing. 
And isn’t that much more preferable 
than having a bullet fired at you from a mile away?

I went to a restaurant, 
and I saw a guy wearing a leather jacket, 
eating a hamburger, and drinking a glass of milk. 
I said, “Dude, you are a cow. 
The metamorphosis is complete. 
Don’t fall asleep; or I will tip you over!” 

George Carlin
Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? 
Are they afraid someone will clean them? 

Dean Burkey
Let’s all try not to kill each other. 
After all, 
that is the first step

what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat 
and drop it?

Self-Help?



Self-Help
What hopeless dweebs 
who are too embarrassed to ask others for help 
wind up having to do for themselves. 

Self-Help is great for people 
who are unable to convince others to lend them a hand. 

Ask not what you can do for yourself; 
ask what yourself can do for you. 
Or the other way around, 
whichever is easier. 

What helps immensely 
when marketing a self-help book 
is to follow its advice and become a millionaire. 
In which case, 
you wouldn’t need to market a book. 
Ergo, 
I find myself suspicious 
of any and all self-help books. 

I think “self-help” means the author of such a book 
is helping himself to our money!  

After you buy a bunch of self-help books, 
what you need is shelf-help.

You know you’re getting old 
when you get that one candle on the cake. 
It’s like, “See if you can blow this out.” 

Woody Allen
I was in analysis, 
you should know that about me. 
I was in group analysis when I was younger, 
‘cause I couldn’t afford private. 
I was Captain of the latent paranoid softball team. 
We used to play all the neurotics on Sunday morning. 
Nail-biters against the bed-wetters. 
And if you’ve never seen neurotics play softball, 
it’s really funny. 
I used to steal second base, 
and feel guilty, and go back.

What’s the appeal of cats? 
They’re like raising adolescents. 
Only you can’t make cats mow the lawn and wash the car. 
Oh wait, that is the same as adolescents.

It was impossible.

Everywhere is within walking distance

Sweet Inspiration


Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you to my father and others who served 
in the military to help protect the freedoms we enjoy
*******
Thank you to those who got my books 
during my latest promotion.

Sweet Inspiration

Many people find comfort from the words of Scripture. 
Psalm 23, John 3:16, or 1st Corinthians 13. 

Others like the sacred texts from other religions, 
such as the Tao or the Bhagavata. 

Still others find serenity in the laws of science. 
As if E = mc2 could calm a troubled soul 
on a dark and disturbing night. 

But I find my inspiration from … 
candy wrappers. 

“When times are tough, 
the tough eat hard candy.” 

“Enjoy every chocolate moment 
that comes your way.” 

“Only you can make 
your chocolate dreams come true.” 

“Be sweet to others; 
and others may offer sweets to you.”

 “Now is the time for all good men 
to rise up; and eat chocolate.”

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Dogs are the leaders of the planet. 
If you see two life forms; 
one of them’s making a poop; 
the other one’s carrying it for him; 
who would you assume is in charge?

Everyone has a photographic memory. 
Some just don’t have film.

All the Rage


All the Rage

I kept thinking empty oatmeal containers 
could come in handy sometime for storage, 
so I saved a bunch, 
but not finding a use for them, 
I decided to put them all in the recycle bin. 

Walking his dog Bowser, 
my neighbor Frank saw the massive amount of empties 
and said, “Wow, Dean. You ate a lot of oatmeal this week!” 

Knowing he was out of town last weekend, I said, 
“I had an oatmeal party Saturday night; 
and as you can see, it was a big success.” 

“An oatmeal party?” 

“Oh yeah, they’re all the rage in Constantinople. 
I would’ve invited you, 
but I knew you’d be out of town. 
How was your business trip?” 

“Fine. All the rage; huh?” 

“Oh yeah.” 
I was surprised I kept a straight face the whole time. 
I was more surprised two days later, 
when I received an invitation to Frank’s oatmeal party. 
I knew that would be too much fun to miss. 

As it turned out, 
when Frank found out that I fooled him, 
he exploded in anger; 
and his oatmeal party truly became all the rage.

Why do people give each other flowers? 
To celebrate various important occasions, 
they’re killing living creatures? 
Why restrict it to plants?

I’m glad that beauty is only skin deep. 
Otherwise, I’d be rotten to the core.

Reality shows were created during a writer’s strike.

Pining for Nutty Grapes?



Pining for Nutty Grapes?

Euell Gibbons used to do ads for Grape Nuts 
where he’d hold up a pine cone; 
and say, 
“Ever eat a pine cone? 
Many parts are edible.” 
And then he’d talk about 
how much he enjoys Grape Nuts. 

Well, of course, he likes them. 
They’re a step up from eating pine cones. 

And if that testimony wasn’t bad enough. 
Shortly thereafter, he died. 
Of natural causes. 

Perhaps a pine cone lodged in his windpipe. 
The Heimlich Maneuver can only do so much. 

At some point, you gotta figure, 
it doesn’t make sense to eat trees. 
‘Cause sometimes the bark does have bite.

He goes: “Not in a row!”
