Inspired by the “Strangest Thread” I am wondering about the funniest thread. I can think of countless examples. However, one that keeps coming back to me is “My bladder knows when I’m home” Sadly, I can’t find the original link and would be most appreciative if someone else could provide it. Anyway, I’m having a truly crappy day and need some comedic diversion. Any suggestions? ---
