Please pardon me if I depart from the usual military orientation of my quote of the week. Below is the joke that made me stop channel surfing and listen to the rest of an unknown comedian’s routine on Comedy Central one day years ago. It loses quite a bit without his unique delivery.
I opened a yogurt and underneath the lid it said, “Please try again.” They were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I had opened the yogurt wrong. Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me. Come on Mitch, don’t give up! An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top.
—Mitch Hedberg
