...well, but the Jerky Boys (one failed movie aside) thrive only on recordings. Their one unvarying gimmick: merciless prank phone calls. On their latest album (Jerky Boys 3), they ring up pizza places and massage parlors and torment people at the other end with idiotic requests or unprompted verbal abuse.

First is his habit of throwing out little verbal grenades that seemingly come from nowhere and fail to detonate. An example of this was his repetition of the charge that in the debates four years ago, Clinton did not refer to George Bush as "Mr. President." While perhaps this will end up swinging the votes of millions, it probably did little more than cause...
