The ‘It’s so hot in New Jersey’ joke that cost Deminski $20

In keeping with what's become an annual tradition, we took calls today from listeners who wanted to win my money.

For $20 all they had to do was make me laugh out loud with an 'It's so hot' joke.

What's challenging about this is...most of them suck! Think about it. We hear them every summer. We've heard them all before. (Well, most of them.) Things like it's so hot a dog was chasing a cat and they were both walking. It's so hot fire hydrants were hoping for dogs.

So we went to the phones.

These were some of the 'It's so hot' jokes we took on air. We finally had a winner, and the winning joke is last on the list.
