A Perfect Joke 

I recently started reading The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey of SNL fame. It's a really light read, less of a story and more of an excuse to string some jokes and puns together. I'm only a quarter of the way through the book but I came across this gem:

“I had dreams once. Once I wanted to build the world’s longest suspension bridge. But then I found out someone else had already done it.”

That's just about as perfect a joke as could be written.
