    Why? Are you on a mission to make sure the joke is never funny again?

    "where did that joke come from anyway?"

    It comes froms from a joke that Yakov Smirnoff (sp?) made. I can't quote the joke. Something like "In Soviet Russia, the party holds YOU!" or something like that.

    Part of me wonders if the resurgence of this joke came from an episode of Family Guy where Peter bought a car with a GPS featuring Yakov mode.
