it’s the kind of thing I find greatly amusing, and will laugh about for weeks on end.

How about you?

Not in the least, tiniest bit funny to me.

Each to their own taste I guess.

I’m my own favorite comedian. I had a good laugh this morning reminiscing about a joke I told over 10 years ago (made up on the spot I believe):

Me: Who should I take for my fantasy basketball team?  
Friend: How about \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_?  
Me: Nah, he’s got a hamstring injury, his career’s over!  
Friend: Well, Magic Johnson had hamstring problems his whole career.  
Me: Yeah, see? Look what happened to him!  
Friend: Umm…  
_hilarity ensues_

Well, it occurs to me this should be some kind of game. As opposed to finding other things to

It didn’t annoy me in the least. I just didn’t find it funny. [This clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQGbK6tTZrM) however amuses me greatly.

We had a stack of [these](http://auroracoda.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/bunny-pancake.jpg) in Iraq for when people would ask us intel analysts to perform miracles such as reading the enemies’ thoughts or magically divining certain locations.

An oldie, but a goodie.
