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.”
