Based on the comments I'm getting so far, I'm going to give up my day job and write a sitcom.

That could be as successful as my Hubble Telescope reality show idea.

Well, I guess I just gave that one away.

Well, I sure wouldn't want to get voted off the Hubble!  Then again, I'm not a big fan of reality shows.

They opted not to go with my Jersey Shore Bomb Disposal Unit reality show hosted by Dean Cain.  The loser had to leave with a bang.  A winner was not likely.  Dean's chances weren't too good, either.

I think SpikeTV might try to steal the idea, though.

I'd often wondered how jokes came about until I tried this. Once your mind locks into the formula (and they are very formulaic after all) they just seem to come out forever. The book had a quote from some standup whose name escapes me, and he said the trick is to write 30 new jokes a day. Do that for a year and you'll have over 10,000 jokes. If only 1% of them are great jokes, that's still 100 great jokes. A standup can make a good living for a year out of 100 funny jokes. 

The guy who wrote the book said that he made a living from selling one liners to standups. He'd give them a list of say 100, and they'd buy say 5 for $100 each. 

I couldn't do standup though, even if I had great material. I would choke.

That's why he said he's going to "steal" them.

Doh!
