We complained in today’s morning roundup that the Examiner left out a crucial piece of information in its story about how a veteran Metro mechanic was fired after he told a dirty joke: the joke itself. We can’t know either way whether this firing was an overreaction or an appropriate response unless we know what the joke actually was, after all.

Well, a source just sent us the joke, and since we’re a tawdry online media outlet and by no means a “family newspaper,” we can freely publish it!

The (reportedly paraphrased) joke that we’ve heard Metro mechanic Gene Garritt told while he was performing emcee duties at a departmental awards ceremony is after the jump. It’s text only, but the text is certainly NSFW.
