 * Keep: I've added as a possible source to show the fact that the joke doesn't originate from just Garfield & Friends show, although I can agree that the leading paragraph should be expanded and/or rewritten. Ezhuks (talk) 09:36, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per User:Baseball Bugs and User:Richardcavell in this article's previous AFD. This joke predates the Garfield & Friends show; it was part of Myron Cohen's act in the 1960s, and the way he told the joke it was probably a folk tradition before that. It has been reproduced in books (see the book search in the Find sources header), newspapers (see the gnews archive search),  and multiple TV shows.   Any cultural meme that is influential enough to withstand the test of time and transmit itself into multiple unrelated media formats is notable enough for an encyclopedia article.
