I know this is not a normal category for these forums but I have a random stock tip and it is related to this thread:
 
Take all your money out of any airline stocks and put it all into Zip-Lock Bags!   

By the way, do not literally put all your money in zip-lock bags. Invest in the zip-lock bag company.  Gee, do I have to explain everything!

I am sick and tired of following my dreams.  I think I'll just ask them where they are going and catch up with them later.  Mitch Hedberg

Notaprof: Your advice belongs somewhere in Kissyface College. Maybe a course on "Obvious Stuff" or "The Difference between Metaphor and Reality," or something. But funnier, of course. Your post IS funny.

That was funny, but only because I can imagine some people actually putting the $$ in bags. I would add that "if you offend people, or try too hard, it's probably not going to be funny"

I was sorry to see the KFC major list take a serious turn. I was enjoying the much needed light stuff.

*!* is contagious, but appropriate hu use can protect you (see http://www.hupronoun.org/).
My God.  Take your pom poms elsewhere unless you have something substantive to say.

Not to hijack the thread--but in general, things are funny if they involve people's quirky choices or interpretations (such as literalism about the bags). They're not funny if they involve race/sex or other stereotypes, as in the bad KFC entry.
