My slightly different jokes are better than your slightly different jokes.
For one thing, they flow off the tongue better, and don't use extraneous words to convey what is essentially a visual joke (what is green and is ON ICE? Peggy's Phlegm? No...Peggy Phlegm. She skates, the joke is so obscure you don't need to throw a spanner in it by not exactly spelling out it's a skating thing. The joke with the last name is that you just stop...Peggy Flem...)
I picture a spider, wriggling and wriggling and tickling beside her, stapled through the middle to a chicken.
I cannot picture a punk rocker doing same.
