Q: What do you call a dwarf psychic who has escaped from prison?
A: A small medium at large.
I tell this joke whenever I eat pizza, which is appropriate because Frank C. first told it to me in a pizza place in Santa Fe, NM. Actually, I only know two jokes. Whenever I learn a new joke, one of the other two has to go. Every time I think about my two-joke memory I start singing "Number Three" by They Might be Giants:
"There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third/
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words/
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave/
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made."
InfraRAT is a composite word I created in 1990 for the title of a movie I wanted to make. Infrarat stands for INFRAstructure Rapid Assault Team. It also hints at infrared, a spectrum just beyond what the human eye can see.
