Knock-Knock Joke in George Zimmerman Trial
Knock-Knock Joke in George Zimmerman Trial Lyrics
[West]
Let me say, I would like to tell you a little joke. I know how that may sound a bit weird in this context under these circumstances. But I think you’re the perfect audience for it. As long as you don’t — if you don’t like it or don’t think it’s funny or inappropriate that you don’t hold it against Mr. Zimmerman. Hold it against me if you want, but not Mr. Zimmerman. I have your assurance you won’t.
Here’s how it goes: Knock knock. Who’s there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? All right. Good. You’re on the jury.
Nothing? That’s funny. After what you folks have been through the last two or three weeks.
