contrived jokes

Did anyone else hear the "Johnny Fucker Faster" joke in grade school?
I thought it was just something that was made up by the kid who told it to me, because it was too stupid to have become oral tradition. But then I heard that Penn Jillette had heard it growing up, as he cited it as an example of a joke having a contrived setup.
But, this is Penn, co-producer of The Aristocrats, of course he knows it. But do any of you know it? And do you remember any part of it besides the punchline?
And who can guess the punchline without any additional information?
