I Just Have To Say, I Really Enjoyed Elon Musk's Interview With

Buddy Hackett.

Seriously! WTF was THAT!? He sounded like Daffy Duck, sucking on a helium balloon.

I had a talk with Merv Griffin and asked him about Resorts International where I worked the first time.

I said, How did you buy a piece of shit like this.

He said, Donald Trump got me involved.

I said, Why did you buy?

He said, He got me into a bidding thing and I had to win.

I said, But you were never such a dumb fuck before, why did you listen to him?

He said, Because he has a way.

I asked, What’s he like?

He said, You never met him?

I said no. What’s he like?

Well, you know, he was born Siamese twins.

I said, No kidding. Joined at the hip?

No, he said, they were joined at the penis. And, in the separation, both twins died and the prick lived.

It was after it became apparent that Trump had outmaneuvered Merv, who said something to the effect, "Yes Donald, you won. NOW %@π¢*+)%#&;* !

Over the past few years, I have looked for a transcript of that clip, but I am unable to find it.

It would be funny if his voice stayed that way!
