A few Bears-Packers jokes on Game Day

It's in our blood. We can't help it.

We just don't like the Packers. That's the way it is ... and the way it will always be.

Unfortunately, it's tough to trade G-rated barbs so we asked local comic Tim Walkoe, who regularly plays Zanies in St. Charles and Vernon Hills, to help us out. Here's are five he came up with:

1. “The Packer colors — green and yellow — resemble the average fan's complexion after his usual game-day diet of bratwurst, beer and cheese curds on a stick.”

2. “Some famous folks have called the Green Bay area home, including the great magician Harry Houdini, who performed his greatest trick of all ... by escaping from Wisconsin.”

35. “The founder of the Packer franchise was a man named Curly. Packer fans descended from his brothers Moe and Larry.”

4. “Green Bay is known as the toilet paper capital of the world. Really. No punch line needed.”

5. “Next Sunday, Green Bay's Mr. Rodgers will find out he's not in his own neighborhood — he's in ours.”
