    Some good laughs here:

    I liked this one: Intern: “I know what happens when I assume.” Editor: “Yep. You run a correction.”

    I didn't want all the oldies like spnited to wonder what this newfangled "facebooky" thing was.

    It is a nice venue for comic relief, and I imagine a lot of us get a kick out of it. Others outside the profession, however, I doubt would find much humor in it.

    That is, quite possibly, the most unfunny Web site I've ever visited.

    I gotta figure out a way to get those two minutes back.

    Sorry, but...

    "Ok, guys, do something productive."
    "I've already written two stories."
    "I said productive."

    ...just doesn't do it for me.

    I think it's funny because it's true.

    Fair enough. We obviously have different tastes in comedy. That's just not funny to me. On any level.

    Enjoy.

    I found some of them pretty humorous, but not all.
