    I would have preferred the punch line, “All you ever do is stink out the place.”

    From the American Heritage Dictionary definitions of “rank”:

    —Strong and offensive in odor or flavor. —Absolute; complete: a rank amateur; a rank stranger.

    Nice try, but the joke doesn’t really work.

    If it doesn’t work, why did it make me laugh? Oh, maybe because I didn’t have to look it up.

    I find the coach completely off color

    Oh, good! I was thinking I was the only one disturbed by the lurid PINK skin tones this past week!

    Um, Leigh…..mebbe colorizing “Rubes” wasn’t such a good idea! Wonder if it’s the same colorist who’s been doing Andy Capp’s couch?
