Taken from Jon Mack's book "How to be funny'

1. Funny people have more friends
2. Funny people get noticed at work.
3. Funny people make more money
4. Funny people don't get wedgies in high school.
5. Funny people get better service in stores
6. Funny people live longer
7. Funny people are smarter
8. Being funny can cover up a multitude of sins.
9. Funny people get more 'action.'
10. Being funny is obviously important enough to you that you bought this book (or opened this thread).

Yeah...but there's a huge different between being funny, and being a complete clown. I mean, I loved my class clown, but that didn't mean that was smarter or anything like that. Being funny is great, but there is definetly a line that must be drawn at some point

Mack, it said no wedgies in school. Wedgies here don't count.

1. Funny people have more friends

I don't have that many friends...

2. Funny people get noticed at work.

...but doesn't help if you're just trying to get hired in the first place.

3. Funny people make more money

[Eek!] I'd hate to see how much money I'd have if I wasn't funny then...

4. Funny people don't get wedgies in high school.

Not true.

5. Funny people get better service in stores

Also, not true.

6. Funny people live longer

Unless, of course, they smoke...

7. Funny people are smarter

Well, I can't argue with that. [Cool]

8. Being funny can cover up a multitude of sins.

God enjoys a good laugh now and then, does He? [Evil]

[Laugh] 9. Funny people get more 'action.'

10. Being funny is obviously important enough to you that you bought this book (or opened this thread).

Does this mean I'm not really funny after all? [Frown]

You're funny enough to get a wink from me, Godric!

Your post proves you're tedious/funny, Godric. You should have just picked a couple of points and poked fun at them, instead of droning through the whole list. [Sleep] [Wink]

Pat, glad to see you posting again! Although I for one never knew why you decided to leave. [Dont Know]
