Ahahahahahahahahahahaa… oh man, coincidentally **twickster** , those happen to be the names of the Marx brothers… ahahahhahaaha… I mean, can you believe the odds of that?

OK, if I can de-hijack this thread back to bragging about how clever oneself is, I made a joke so good in the [diabetes thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=315929&page=2) that I’m surprised it came out of my own head. Yet no one there (rather a tense room) seems to share my enthusiasm. ☹ To wit, **Dangerosa** said that (given the size of an insulin syringe) she couldn’t imagine how someone self injecting would be anything other than discreet. But she typed it as “discrete.” Whereupon I replied: “Perhaps if they were conjoined diabetic twins?” Usually when I come up with something clever, I don’t like to toot my own horn – normally I hang about, passive-agressively trying to get other people to notice and and hoping desparately for a compliment. But this one was too good not to broadcast! –Cliffy, swell-headedly ---

I’ve had this happen to me before. I was talking with a friend, and out came what I still think was one of the funnier things I’ve ever said. When I posted it on LJ, no one said a word. ---
