Running Nelson Mandela Joke

By Nicholas Stix

Father: The National Enquirer says Leonard Nimoy is dying, but he’s past 80.

Son: He’s dying too young.

After father and son see a classic episode of The Simpsons, guest starring Rodney Dangerfield, the son asks his father when Dangerfield died. “About ten years ago.”

Son: How old was he?

Father: About 78.

Son looks it up, and reports, “He was 82.”

“Too young, he died.”
