Notes

NORM is an acronym for National Organization of Relentless Malapropisms. Photo and text on back cover:

Norm MacDonald

There's a difference between "good taste" and "tastes good," explain the Texas police as they forcibly remove Norm MacDonald from the convention center. The comedian was attacked throughout the NORM 2000 Trade Convention for his impeccably bad taste stemming from the infamous "Crack-Whore" comment. Conventioneers question whether MacDonald should have substituted the words "dead hooker" to make his point clearer, or drop the idea entirely. Regardless, the comment was made, the damage done, and the convention survived. MacDonald said, "Hey, hey, it's not like I whizzed on the Alamo, or anything."
