My office nurse heard this on Jay Leno Friday night. I though by now
somebody would have placed in on Lactnet but I haven't seen it yet.
Some may view it as sexist, some as funny and some just may shake their
head. I take the view that any method of publicizing the advantages of BF
is probably worthwhile to some degree.
The monologue joke goes something like this:
"Did you hear that a recent study has found that breastfed children are
more intelligent later in life? This has really had a great impact
because now "Hooter's" can be classified as a health food store. < insert
snare drum rim shot here>
The internet has probably done more for the distribution of jokes as much
as anything else.

For those of you on LACTNET outside the US you might need this addendum:
Jay Leno is a comedian who has a late night talk show,
Hooters is a self proclaimed family restaurant chain that features
attractive well endowed waitresses wearing TIGHT T shirts and skimpy
shorts.
