Knock Knock Jokes Have Never Been Funny

Don West, attorney for the world’s most notorious self-appointed neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, opened arguments in his clients defense with a knock-knock joke for the jury.

Knock knock. Who’s there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Okay, good. You’re on the jury.

The jurors looked back at West with a blank stare. He later apologized. Great start, Perry Mason.

West is probably wishing he had gone with his first choice opener, ‘I just want to remind everybody here that the man my client killed was black.’ In Florida, nobody’s getting your knock knock joke. But now there’s a good chance at least one person on the jury thinks your client deserves a medal.
