A couple of days ago I watched a documentary about Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon. You might know her better as Minnie Pearl, the country comedienne. The program had a clip of her and Dean Martin performing a sketch which had, for my money, one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard.
Minnie was telling Dean about a wedding which took place in her fictional hometown of Grinders Switch, Tennessee. Part way through the act Dean asked, "Who gave the bride away?"
"Well so far, everyone's held their tongue," Minnie replied.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. What do you think of the joke?
