UPDATE: William Shatner could not attend this intervention due to his exercising of his prerogative to rock with the rest of his crew at karaoke...
Paging William Shatner...your services are needed over at StarWars.com, where a new blog features a Star Wars joke of the day.
What's a Star Wars joke? Try one of these:
How many Jawas does it take to change a lightbulb?
Four -- three to pile on top of each other to reach the socket, and another to sell the old bulb "as good as new."
Utinni!
Or, perhaps this floats your landspeeder...
How do you melt all the ice on Hoth?
Take away an "h" and make it hot!
And I thought I was bad, with a category called "May the Force Be With Us"? Bill, please report to StarWars.com, jump out from behind a Gungan and tell this poor chap to "get a life..."
The dude, YZ Freedman, looks like half the men I know on the Upper West Side. At first I assumed he was single, and that he could be finding his shidduch, and instead he's spending all his time on the internet sorting through jokes about how it's become impossible to find parking at Mos Eisley Spaceport. But according to the profile on StarWars.com, the dude's got a daughter. And a dayjob working for Entertainment Tonight. And he "doesn't post on Saturdays," which I assume is code for "I'm observant."
Which leads me to the following observation...
Germans love David Hasslehoff. Jews love Star Wars. Discuss.
Shatner? Star Wars? Come on, Esther... you know better than that...

It's a sad day for the Jews. A sad day, indeed.

Come on, Joel. You know I know better than that. But who else is as qualified as Shatner to deliver that line, to sci-fi fans of whatever ilk? I stand by my invocation of the Shatner.
Robbie, yes. Very sad.

Having this kind of sense of humor kept me single for years! Speaking of which, want some knock knock jokes?

The joke about the Jawas has to be one of the worst jokes ever written. Perhaps they could post a Star Wars version of "The Aristocrats." Now THAT would be worth reading!

Shatner has about as much in common with Star Wars as I do with Britney Spears. :P

You're a bit of a bitch, huh?
All because he wasn't single?
