The one soldier says to the server, \u201cI&#8217;ll have that illegal, imperialist sandwich that glorifies war, invasion and propagates a militaristic, war-mongering agenda.  What was that sandwich called again?\u201d  The server says, \u201cWe call that the &#8216;Hero&#8217;, sir.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Ba-dum ching!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This and many other ill-informed, anti-Canadian jokes can be heard on the hottest comedy tour in the country.  \u201cLooney Profs\u201d is the brainchild of 15 professors from the University of Regina and has taken the country by storm with its comedic sense of entitlement, and perverse egocentricity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is clearly a juxtaposition of people in positions of academia who have no intellect at all,\u201d said the <em>Looney Profs<\/em> public relations manager, \u201cThis is what catches the audience off guard; you expect them to say something intelligent but, the Profs portray themselves as Marxist, ivory tower hacks who are isolated from reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is the sheer brilliance of the comedy show; you are completely shocked at how academics can make you believe that they are they stupidest, most out of touch people on the planet. The rampant cronyism they spew would be frightening if it were real.  But, thankfully, it&#8217;s all an act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, the rave reviews for the show has earned the production thousands of fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCould you imagine if this ungrateful, misinformed, revisionist bullshit was really taught in the universities?\u201d said Tara Washington, who had just seen the show, \u201cLike, holy shit, that would just mess up the students in their classes.  I am so glad that these profs really don&#8217;t believe the hilariously vile,  verbal defecation that they spew out of their mouths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other fans agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou really do think that these professors are a bunch of shit for brains,\u201d said Malcolm Trent as he waited in line for an autograph from one of the <em>Looney Profs<\/em>, \u201cI mean, I was sitting there, listening to the characters spew this laughable Marxist, comedic tripe and was debating with my friends whether their skulls were full of pig excrement or dog excrement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very convincing!\u201d said another fan, \u201cI have no idea how they kept a straight face for the whole performance.  That part about how 15,000 Canadian troops can take over an entire country because we are an imperialist, colonial oppressor?  I just about pissed myself laughing!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can&#8217;t even fill an NHL hockey rink let alone take over an entire country with 15,000 troops!  I just laughed and laughed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because of the huge success of their debut tour, the 15 U of R Profs have been nominated for the Governor General&#8217;s \u201cHeroes of Comedy\u201d award.
