I stake no claim to the origin of this joke, the original comedian was the legendary Adam Corolla. Our family finds this joke so funny, we constantly try to add more punchlines to it.
The joke is this: The rich and the poor have far more in common than the middle class. Here's a list of things that the rich and poor have in common, but the middle class does not.
For example:
Both know all the local judges
Both own outdoor showers
Both hunt with hounds
Both sleep with a maid
Both marry distant relatives
Both use a stream of water to clean themselves after a dump
Both’s most valuable possession is a really old car
Both use cloth diapers
Both give birth at home
Both get haircuts at home
Both talk to their attorney all the time
Both hire others to speak on their behalf
Both know the market rate for copper
Both spend a lot of time on boats
Both live in a hotel
Both have really old guns
Both live next to a rapper
Both’s sole source of income might be playing guitar in front of people
Both eat animals not typically considered food
The cops come instantly when called to their address
Their car’s tires are smooth and tread less
They both disowned their children
Obsessed with government subsidies
As teens, they were sent away to a special school (*This one I wrote, I find it hilariously true)
They both wear clothes with holes in it
Their furniture is really old
They collect weird things
They’re frequently in the newspaper
At least once a year you hear about them in the news
Both do things you were unaware were actual sports
