Humor

[stoutfellow]

Spontaneous, off-the-cuff humor is, to put it charitably, not one of my strong suits. My attempts usually fall flat, and often offend. (I generally don't recognize the offense until well after the fact, which results in the denting of my forehead.)

That said:

This past week, on Questionable Content, there was a scene in which Faye, having lost her job, was looking at the classified ads. Jeph showed us the page she was looking at; off in the upper left corner was a plaintive "Please, I just want my chickens back." On the forums, during a discussion of that strip, someone asked, "So, anyone have any ideas where the chickens might be?" I immediately replied, "On the other side of the road?"

Which I thought was funny. Apparently some other readers did too: I got half a dozen Likes.

And it wasn't even a pun!
