“The jokes came too easy,” laughed Midwestern IT specialist Lance Legweak. “Heh, I said came!”

Legweak was referring to a well-intentioned anti-racist campaign by Sesame Street in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests. “I mean, ‘Big Bird’!”

“Ernie looks like he’s double-fisting Bert, which I mean, it ain’t the first time that’s happened. Then look at Grover trying to weasel his way in there.”

Legweak squirmed. “There’s also a ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ joke I’m trying not to make. I don’t want to give it awaym but suffice it to say that it involves a rimjob and someone not being so grouchy any more.”
