Student Making Coronavirus with Lime Joke Deemed ‘King of Comedy’
Junior accounting major Rex Nelson has been deemed the “King of Comedy” after making jokes about the deadly COVID-19 virus. Nelson’s signature line of “I’ll have a coronavirus with lime, please” has earned him fame and popularity among his classmates.
“I’m not really sure where the inspiration for the joke came from,” Nelson said. “One day, I was sipping on a Corona and realized the name of the beer and the virus were similar. After that, the jokes just came naturally.” Nelson, who is being lauded as the funniest man in Aggieland, has remained humble throughout his success.
When asked if he was going to drop out of college to pursue his comedic career, Nelson stated that he’d rather finish college and enjoy his success here. “I’m not ready to take my career big-time yet, but I’m definitely going to celebrate my newfound title with a coronavirus and lime.”

POLS Dancer didn’t ask for her life to be this way. She originally moved to the big city to follow her boyfriend but had nowhere to turn when he dumped her to pursue his career as a musician. One rainy night, she found herself at the door of Icon Night Lounge. Enthralled by the night life but unwilling to give up her studies, POLS Dancer stepped into the cage with a book on the political theories of John Locke in hand. If you go to the right-hand side of the stage on Thursday night, you can see her there, working to make her dreams a reality and reciting the teachings of Aristotle.
