Go for Joke

Funny can buy you love. Even for Sheriff Joe.

Remember Roger Rabbit and his hot wife, Jessica? No one understood how the hell those two got together until she explained that the little fuzzy weirdo made her laugh. She may have looked like a bimbo, but she had a point -- an ugly yet funny man can do no wrong. In fact, if a guy can make you laugh, all flaws are forgiven, even if the dude sports a comb-over, a fat belly, and bad hygiene. With that said, we have to hand it to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is throwing the Pink Collar Comedy Night. Not only will this laugh-fest increase serotonin levels for potential voters, but the shindig will graciously benefit the animals of Arpaio's MASH unit. Doors open at 5 p.m. for the silent auction, with the show kicking off at 8.
