That's pretty damn hilarious, actually.

In fact, I find the incongruous image of eating tennis balls, with
mango salsa no less, as an indicator of evilness, than the passage
above, which is a simple pun on the word secretary.


Remember, it's called "bad jokes and other deleted nonsense", not
"reasonably good jokes that Phil finds humorous." If Phil is correct
in his opinion, than his first selection does a better job of
qualifying as a bad joke.

In all seriousness, humor is a subjective thing.
