This appears to be an in-joke of some type. The page is orphaned, and none the people and organizations mentioned on the page appear to be insignificant:
Maxx Bartko and Brett Schnieder of Excuse the Expression, Greg
. . . And then the page was deleted by a man named Perkins.

Delete: Vanity page for a "type of joke" invented in... in... Yes, 2004! Wow. It's called a
shaggy dog story, Mr. Perkins.

Delete unless good evidence for somewhat widespread use is presented. 14 Google hits for "perkins joke" (exact phrase), none relevant. In Google Groups, search limited to rec.humor.funny, I get 5 hits on the single work "perkins," non relevant. (rec.humor.funny is not an enormous collection; had it been present it would have verified the existence of the joke format, but its absence isn't terribly significant). [[User:Dpbsmith|
