I believe that I have a unique “sense” of “humor,” as do many people. (That sentence is true in both ways you can interpret it: Many people believe that they have a unique and beautiful sense of what’s funny; and many people believe that I have a unique outlook on phenomena which are humorous.)
So it occurs to me that I should document what I’m talking about. Nick at one time kept up a list of things that suck. In the exact opposite spirit, I will now start a list of things I think are funny. I’ll create a separate page for it at some point soon, but for now I’ll just use this blog entry.
For example, here’s one:
- A tearaway business suit that reveals another, different business suit.
I think there’s real potential here for me to document what I think is funny.
Feel free, by the way, to suggest things in the comments section, and I will respond by telling you not whether I think they’re funny or not, since that is a lower bar than I mean to set here, but rather whether I think they exemplify my own unique brand of humor.

And that’s the problem with trying to be funny on demand. Pressure destroys humor.
