Way back in the day, a comic (Carlin maybe?) did a less-dumb version of this joke. Something along the lines of “I’m pro-abortion and I’m pro-death-penalty. I’m pro- whatever leads to fewer people on the 405 at rush hour.”

I remember Carlin doing a bit about being pro abortion, and pro death penalty, but it had nothing to do with cars and traffic. He just did a whole bit where they turn 4 states into prisons that have a live pay per view feed of death fights, so you can watch people die without leaving your couch. He also was in support of legalized betting on these fights.

He would have loved draft kings.

He was the best :) (Even better that people still misunderstand his humor)

I'm glad the Adjuster finally came through on that first joke Carlin made. It just took a few decades.
