The Insidious Joke Excalibur

One time in history, there was a insidious, stolid man named Jerry. Jerry wasn't a very opulent mannered man, but one of his dour hobbies was finding jokes and making them not funny or killing them. He will hear someone tell a hilarious joke at a comedy club or bar, then he will tell the same one verbatim, but ruin the punch line. An example would be he heard the ol' classic "why the chicken cross the road," and instead of the actual answer, he will use "the chicken's mind is pliable and lacks the fortitude to make its own decisions." The Insidious Joke Excalibur will literally adulterate any joke he finds in his own small diabolical plan to ruin comedy world wide. Without comedy, there will be no way anyone can make a intimation to a more serious topic. Without comedy, everyone will be constantly sad and have no pick me up to feel better. There is no need to reiterate how much we need comedy and we must deploy a team to stop this man. Without comedy, there is no happiness.
