. Too many funny people around ).For my money, the very funniest things said here have come out of the mouths of people who aren't always trying to be funny. You see a post by tribdog and you know instantly it is going to be a wisecrack of some kind. You're already innoculated. That's why the things that have made me laugh hardest were the ones I wasn't expecting. You may be surprised but no one has made me laugh harder and taken me by surprise more often than Ivan Seeking. In the same vein, Evo has a finely honed instinct about when to hit you by surprise with a crack you weren't expecting at all.Artman's Rhinoceros thread was the same thing; it seemed to come out of nowhere. As for people who are quick to quip, the ones you expect it from, no one gives me the giggles more than Math Is Hard. Then, of course, there's plover.Moonbear said:

It's true. You sneak up on people with your jokes.Ivan Seeking said:Alas?
Zooby is very funny, so is Gale, and you are also.Huckleberry said:What about Gale? She always makes me laugh. I can actually hear what she's saying by the way she writes. And Pillow Head! C'mon, how can anyone beat that?
zooby is clever and funny too. There are several layers of humor in his jokes. He can spin a good yarn too.
I put these two phrases together in my head and thought, "It must be hard to run with crab legs."
He's snuck up behind me a few times too...zoobyshoe said:
I mean Yes, he's very funny. It's not that hard if Evo is chasing you with a mallet and a fork, wearing a bib. And it makes it a lot easier to scuttle sideways through the doorways.Artman said:
I think he and Evo are the masters of the instinct of when to shift suddenly from semi-serious into the humor gear.Artman said:He's snuck up behind me a few times too...
I agree. Ivan does come out with some brilliant humor. Such as you guys in the mouse thread. I loved that. Evo can come out with things out of nowhere that really crack me up. Some of my biggest laughs came from her. there are some marvelously funny people on this forum. Makes for great reading.zoobyshoe said:
Let's just say you have a special understanding of patents.Ivan Seeking said:What jokes?
Exactly, Evo always takes me by surprise. I thought Chroot's addition to the mouse thread was a minor masterpiece, and there are a lot of others who can write hysterical things when they feel like it.Artman said:
Oh you must mean this section of the mouse saga:zoobyshoe said:

Aww, flattery can get you everywhere.zoobyshoe said:
Oh look, zoobie and Artman have made it to the finals.
