Bust-Gut Mountain

Well, the barrage of "Brokeback Mountain" jokes is in full avalanche now...having seen frazzled political pundits like Don Anus--I mean, Imus--on Fox News cracking a few quick puns while Bill O'Reilly squeals with delight (or maybe it's fear, when he sees the Jimmy Dean people coming), the gay community (a contradiction in terms if ever I heard one) has decided it won't be outdone, and since it's our subject matter, after all, we should be the ones telling the jokes! Antique shops and furniture stores will never be quiet again...

So let's go ahead and get it out of our systems, shall we? Here's the latest one. It's been making the rounds of gay e-mail lists all over. And it's oh-so-fresh. A real thigh-slapper, by Jove:
