A big question I know. So many threads. But I’m sure a significant few stand out in our minds as those we can always come back to when we need a good chuckle. For me, it would be [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=269249), particularly **Larry Mudd’s** account of a…um, latrine picnic, if you will. What thread do you find the funniest on SDMB? Adam ---

I can’t find the thread on a search (and it’s really annoying me) but there was a Pit thread from some time in the last year about “Kentucky Fried Taco Huts” and how combining the restaraunts has decreased the quality of each respective chain’s foods that had me laughing out loud repeatedly. Maybe someone else will remember it and have better results than me. ---
