Great ideas, I always thought there was more going at Disney than meets the eye. Great pictures!

Reminds me of a story award-winning writer Harlan Ellison told of when he and several other writers were hired by Disney as staff writers. He drives to work the first day, parks in a spot with his own name on it, goes into his office, fiinds he has his own secretary, and then sits in his plush office chair, spinning around all morning wondering what it is he’s supposed to do. At lunchtime, he goes down to the cafeteria and meets the other SF writers. Feeling wickedly creative, he says, “Let’s write a script that’ll blow the roof off the whole Disney charade.” He then launches into an X-rated description similar to the Realist poster. No one laughs. Thinking it’s not funny enough, he gets even more– descriptive. What he didn’t know was that a number of Disney execs were sitting at a table behind him. Long story short, he and the other writers are out on their asses before lunch is even over. (Can’t remember in which Ellison book I read this).

Ah, that explains why the first version made utterly no sense to me. Thanks for explaining!

Ah…my misspent youth!
Remember Paul and the Realist!
And that poster!
Glad to see he is still alive and kicking!
And the joke sucked the first time I heard it from way back when in Paul’s day…probably in the realist.

Not to rain on anybody’s comedic sense, but it will largely depend on your locale as to how either version is perceived.

Evidently, ‘goofy’ equates to ‘crazy’ in some places. In the UK, ‘goofy’ is a term which is used to describe people with prominent front teeth.

Not to rain on anybody’s joke, but the way I heard it makes a little more comedic sense:

Mickey Mouse goes to his lawyer, seeking a divorce. The lawyer inquires after the grounds for the divorce [that alone tells you how old this joke is -- ed.] and so Mickey tells him. The lawyer looks concerned, then says, “Micky, you might be able to get a divorce for that reason, but you’ll have to explain WHY you think your wife is crazy.”

Mickey slaps his forehead in disbelief. “I didn’t say she was crazy! I said she was FUCKING GOOFY!”

Mickey Mouse goes to his lawyer, seeking a divorce. He outlines his reasons. The lawyer thinks for a moment, then says, “Micky, I don’t think you’ll be given a divorce just because Minnie prominent teeth.”

Mickey slaps his forehead in disbelief. “I didn’t say she had prominent teeth. I said she was FUCKING GOOFY!”
