Silliness And, I'm still out of breath

This made me laugh so hard I started coughing.

Those tricky Rames of Kinish!!

DixieGal · 07-30-2009, 11:15 AM

Oh Boy! I needed a belly laugh this morning! Thanks!

HarryT · 07-30-2009, 11:15 AM

Sorry, I don't get it at all

Well, your a Brit. You aren't expected to have a broad belly-laugh type sense of humor, only a bone dry wit a la Oscar Wilde.

Oh course, there was Benny Hill, and Monty Python, so maybe it's just you!!

(That's what SHE Tsed!!)

I was being serious. Why is spelling "Claim" as "Glaim" funny? I'd like to think that I have as good a sense of humour as the next chap, but this one extirely eludes me, I regret to say.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious...

You are entirely forgiven, and yes, you are missing something incredibly obvious. But that's OK. Not every joke is going to make every person laugh. I suppose if it was just the one word, it wouldn't be quite so funny, but this is the Ministry of Silly Walks of copyright statements.

I guess it struck me so funny because the horrendous typos read like a fantasy tale or something.

"The EPHPC of the kingdom of Glaim claimed rights to the Ace of Wpades. The Joker took the case to the Eesign in order to regain the Ace. The Rame of Kinish pondered the situation and banished them both to the harsh Tsed of Qards."

Or else, it's just intrinsically funny, which it is.

It actually reminded me of Jabberwocky. All those Slithy Toves would fit in very nicely with the Rame of Kinish Tsed. Doesn't "Kinish-Tsed" sound like some village somewhere? "I am the Duke of Kinish-Tsed!!" "Long ago and far away in the little village of Kinish-Tsed ....."

Snork!!

I thought I had a pretty good sense of humor too, but I guess my funny bone, grin trigger and laugh center are all on the fritz today 'cause I'm sorry to say my giggle meter didn't budge at all.

Must be the weather.

Well, you know, not every schizbot finds this sort of tsnatchling furulant. To each their gnatchikin, that's why I always say.

After all, Slayda didn't find the video of Matt Harding tsorting around the klevatch the least bit furulant. No, really he didn't!!

I do hope you folks are getting some crepitulation in your area.

They should have used a wordy processy.

RickyMaveety · 07-30-2009, 04:29 PM

Exactly like that!!

yikes, my sense of humor must be defective as well!! Or, perhaps just... dare I say it... British?

No idea why this is funny... Is it the spelling errors? Or the fact that they claim exclusive right to spelling errors?
