"As they leave, in an aside to Eve, Adam imitates the expression on God’s face."

I love Jack Handey's "Ideas for Paintings." I heard this on the radio when I was out somewhere in the middle of my long drive. I remembered it tonight as I was reading this humor test -- reading it aloud for someone who was trying to answer the questions and when I got to question 10 -- "Which of the following 'Deep Thoughts' by Jack Handey is the funniest to you?" -- it took me about 10 tries before I could get the second "Deep Thought" out without breaking down into hysteria. And the second one wasn't even the funniest one. I haven't laughed that hard in years.

(Thanks to Diane Meyer for the link to the test.)

One of my all-time Jack Handey faves goes something like:

"Some people think clowns are funny. I think they're kinda scary. Maybe 'cause once, when I was little, a clown killed my dad."

It says I scored only 65, out of whatever. 100 I think. Only 65? That's a bit much coming from people who put a grocer's apostrophe in "The Simpson's" [sic].

These people have a hell of a nerve criticizing my sense of humor.

Ah, but John, were you able to get through the New Yorker piece without smiling? That piece is designed to be read, not heard...

I only scored 40. Probably because I prefer sarcastic humor to absurdity.

(I thought the first Jack Handey quote was funniest.)

I really need to put my glasses on .....

I read that as "Deep Throat".

Under those circumstances, there's a whole different set of cowboy jokes involved.

And, yes, I still looked. ; - )

I scored 80. That is supposed to mean I have a sense of humor, but I doubt it. lol
