Y'see if it were to follow the original it'd be:
99 problems but his kids ain't one.
whereas I suggested:
99 problems and his kids ain't one.
Whilst essentially the same, I'd usually read 'but' (in the first case) as meaning "99 problems and his kids are not any of them". Whereas the second (with 'and') I'd read as "99 problems and one of them isn't his kids" meaning that the other 98 may or may not be his kids.
Sent mine in a few minutes ago, I'm really struggling with the listings

You've got to love a joke that comes with footnotes.

I usually go through a TV listings magazine. That usually sparks ideas for me. But it is a flawed system, as I haven't had a TV Listings used... yet.
I'm a bit happier with this weeks 11.59ers

I think we can agree that in either case, it doesn't work without an explanation.
Ergo, it's not funny.
Unless this is the ten minute argument, in which case "yes it is".

Me too, on both counts! But I am quite hopeful this week with Balamory, Graham Norton and Swan Lake. 
That sounds like a hell of a show!

Or Manchester City Council.
But we're all family here right?
(unless you get a sitcom deal)
To add to the difficulties in getting my stunning jokes broadcast, the sodding one-liner-on-line sheet managed to blank out five of my dazzling witicisims. Has the BBC replaced human script editors with robot rejectioners?

Howzat?
* sorry to anyone who thought this was my weekly report on what sketches and bad puns made it on/
I didn't have tickets for this week, and stayed home to live tweet the LBCdebate.
Have tickets for next week though.
Anyone else go and have anything to report?

If they were better script editors, would they be doing this show?
