famous university professor has finally perfected the art of cloning and to unveil his most prestigious work he has taken cells from his own body and created a perfect clone of himself.

He calls a press conference. All the top scientist and scientific journalist attend. He describes the extent of his work and at the proper moment he introduces his clone from behind the curtain. The crowd is astonished. He is the mirror image of the professor. He's even dressed the same. The clone comes forward to the podium and the professor allows him to speak for a few minutes. But, quickly the clone becomes abusive and starts spewing obscenities one right after the other. The professor is terribly embarrassed and tries to intervene. But, a fight breaks out between the two which quickly moves off the stand and into the crowd.

The professor starts to get the upper-hand on his clone and in one last knock out punch he sends the clone flying back against the window which breaks. The clone falls ten stories to his death.

The audience is dumbstruck. The police rush in and promptly arrest the professor ...

The charges: Making an obscene clone fall.

I fell asleep in my chair looking for jokes on the Internet last night...lol, but not before I found a picture of half dog half human that really grossed me out....ha. Your clone joke was much funnier.

This reminded me of the old "Family Circus" cartoons - we used to have one daily in our newspaper. I looked for one specifically, but didn't find a search function at their site:

The kids in Family Circus used to have this imaginary friend that took the fall for any wrong doing. He was a ghosotly drawing named "Not Me." Whenever something bad was discovered, Not Me took t he blame. For example, if dad found that somebody had been sneaking cookies out of the jar, he would ask, "Who has been getting cookies out of the jar?" to which the kids answered "Not Me!" The cartoon then depicted this little ghostly character sneaking down the hall with his cookies, leaving a trail of crumbs.

Anyway, I thought of the same effect with a clone of yourself. You could blame everything on the "other you." lol I guess we would just have to be careful when we're talking to "ourselves" to not reveal the real culprit.

Oh well, I guess you'd just have to be there. lol
