This is from the comedy stand-up special "Women of the Night" on HBO. When I saw this part, I laughed very hard. After she tells the joke, notice the women at 00:30, she looks like she wants to kill somebody. Maybe she was offended by the joke... I hope you enjoy.

Voted "Best Comedian" in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review-Journal for the last six years, Rita Rudner has become one of Vegas' most beloved performers. What began as a one-month booking at the MGM Grand in 2000 led to a permanent engagement at New York-New York's Cabaret Theatre through August 2006. In October 2006, she began her one-woman show at Harrah's Las Vegas. Rudner shines in this stand-up concert event, which was recorded for PBS in February 2007 at Harrah's.
