  • i wanted to see if i could find the 2 jokes Heather told on the 4/28/2016 show.

    • Andy Saunders | April 29, 2016 at 4:25 pm | Reply

      Alex: Heather Burnett is an accountant from Florida who has become an expert at joke telling. How did that happen?

      Heather: Well, my nephews, Nicholas and Bryce, are just coming to the age when they understand jokes, and they like to tell me that Cinderella could never be on the basketball team because she always ran away from the ball.

      [Laughter]

      Heather: Now my–my niece Emily has another favorite–how do you turn a soup into gold?

      Alex: How?

      Heather: You add 24 karats.

      [Laughter]

      Alex: There is a stand-up career just waiting for this lady.

      Heather: Thank you. [Laughs] Thank you.

      Alex: Good luck.
