Reid About It

I've tried to teach my daughter the principles of being funny. There are universal lessons to learn about when to joke, when puns are appropriate, the comedic rule of threes, and other ideas.

One of the things I've shown to her is how you can take any funny sentence and make it funnier, just by adding the word "again" to the end of it.

"Mom, the dog ate the remote control...again."

"I forgot where I parked the car...again."

Well, those are rather innocuous examples. How about one where the comedy just saddles up and rides straight at you.

Here's a story about a man charged with having sex with a horse...again.

You know, sometimes "Neigh" means "Nay!"

My favorite thing about this article, well, other than the dude having sex with the horse, are the pictures. There's a mugshot of the guy...and then the picture of the horse.

Do they always put pictures of the sexual assault victims on the news? Shouldn't the picture of the horse have that black bar across his eyes so we can't recognize him down at the track?
