Well, it did get a little funnier as I thought about it. But, I didn’t guffaw. Sorry **zyz** , your suspicions of weirdness seem to be confirmed. ---

Well, I glanced at it, then scrolled down the page to find the funny thing. Scrolled back up, kinda read it, checked to make sure the page had finished loading, and read it again. Then I read it again, slowly and thoughfully. \ _smirk_ So I read it again. \ _chuckle_ Yeah, that’s funny, and I’ve had a shitty day, so it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen today, but not quite up there for me. 'twas funny, though. ---
