I'd have laughed out loud and secured my place on the bullet train to Hades. Kris – Your self-restraint is commendable. I’d have laughed out loud and secured my place on the bullet train to Hades.

I thought of you and laughed inside my head (and only inside my head, because I was working for these people!) Let me explain. On Sundays, I work at school for a group that rents the pool, and some time in the cafeteria. It's a group for mentally handicapped youth. They come swim, then they have arts and crafts or some type of therapy like music or dance. Today they danced. So here I was, watching mentally handicapped teens do charlestoncise, nearly peeing my pants trying not to laugh. If there were such thing as hell, I would be riding the bus to go there right now.

Rebecca - If Paunches were a real think thank, Zach Galifianakis would have to be its senior fellow, or I'd tear up my membership. Jon - Wearing just a speedo or gloves separately is disturbing. Wearing both, and only both makes my mind explode with questions and horrific imagery. clockwork – Do you work at a fraternity house?
