Rush Limbaugh

An adaptation of a joke I first saw in a science fiction story by Dallas McCord ("Mack") Reynolds about 30 years ago (that's when I read it, the story was written years earlier). I don't know if it was original to him or not. The original only had the question and what I have designated as answer "A2." The answer "A1" (original to me) just makes it so much more appropriate to Rush.

Q

Why does Rush Limbaugh sound so constipated?

A1

Rush is still addicted to Oxycontin, which is an opiate (like heroin and morphine). As with all opiates, Oxycontin reduces the strength of peristaltic contractions in the bowel, and therefore causes constipation.

A2

Because he's full of shit.
