Top ten reasons given by David Letterman why he had to make
fun of Nepali Royals.
(with thanks to ss and sc for their inputs!)
***********************************
10. They call me "Laataa Man" in Nepal, and I am INDEED
that dumb.
09. Leno's hitting me from the left, Conan O'Brian's punching me from the right --- making me go for really sick, sick humor.
08. Tom Brokaw's been to Nepal, and I just wanted to spoil
his next vacation there.
07. Dead royals, unlike alive and kicking Miss Columbia, don't strike back, and I thought I could sneak off with it with my stupid grin.
06. It's really not my fault, but of those (kids from The
Harvard Lampoon) who write my jokes and are paid
Kamaiya-wages.
05. Mr. Heston asked me to plug the NRA -- the Nepal Rifle Association.
04. Hey, it's the killing spree -- the great American export
to the rest of the world, what do you think?
03. It's the ratings, stupid . . . and I am the one getting
massacred in the Nielsen war.
02. Oh, I just wanted to get back at them for denying me a visa to Nepal last year.
01. What's a gap-toothed, paunchy, from-Iowa, late-night-show host with Mad-magazine-esque tufts of hair . . . with falling ratings, a struggling career and crazy fans who stalk him
lurking outside his house to do on late, late night?
