With the regular season about to start, and the Cubs looking at (most likely) another not-so-good W-L record (at best, .500; at worst 100+ L), I thought we could all use a laugh. No, I'm not going to post a selfie - I said we could use a laugh, not a recoil in horror...
Instead, I'd like to conjure up the days of Henny Youngman, Jack Benny, Groucho Marx, Johnny Carson and Rodney Dangerfield, not to mention a few rimshots.
Take my team... please.
So whether you're a full-fledged TheoBot or a die-hard Debbie Downer, here's your chance to get it all out of your system before the season starts. I've listed below a few beauts I've saved up over the years - feel free to add your own.

Humor folks, it's called humor. Remember - laughter is the best medicine. Well, after alcohol. And bacon. And winning. And having sex. And more bacon.
Wait, I got it - having sex while drinking bacon bourbon shooters as the Cubs are winning. Yeah, that's the ticket...
