Well, it's only Wednesday, and already it's safe to say that this has been one of the worst weeks in United Airlines' public relations history.

A tone-deaf CEO initially supported officers who dragged a screaming passenger down the aisle and off the flight. Later the airline issued a half-hearted apology. But the damage had already been done. The company's stock dropped. Late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel says the company's actions were so bad they made Pepsi look good. And Conan O'Brien shares some positive airline news (sort of) that has been overshadowed.

Take a look at Punchlines, above, for the week's best jokes on United (including a Jimmy Kimmel spoof). After you watch our favorites, vote for yours in the quick poll to the right. Watching from your smartphone or tablet? Then visit opinion.usatoday.com to cast your ballot.
