You Know Your Humor is Dry When

1. You find papers by Alvin Plantinga funnier than the the funnies. (About half way through you'll see what I mean.)

2. You laugh out loud while reading the first paragraph of an article about trade conferences in the Economist. (One-armed dismal scientists, eh?)

3. You are the only student in a classroom of 70 who finds your professor's lectures hilarious. (The story of my life.)

4. Your favorite jokes invovle Windows Error Codes and Dr. Seuss Technical writing. (So, maybe I'm just a geek.)

Comments

Relish your geekiness. :)

Aha, Windows Error Codes are excellent.

Was it Plantinga's suggestion to replace the Beach Boys with Kant that made you laugh?

RE: Windows. I opened the page and then got an error message saying "this document contains no data". Okay, I have a very messed up sense of humour.

Glenn, I'm guessing it was the part about Democrats and unmitigated scoudrels.

Ha! Actually, it was the part about replacing the Beach Boys with Kant.

I still think Plantinga's definition of fundamentalist in WCB is one of the funniest things he's written.

I love that definition! It's precise, too - it reminds me of the time I saw a caption in a newspaper "Fundamentalists praying the Rosary outside an abortion clinic."

Macht, That is hilarious! I need to save that and pull it out whenever someone calls me a fundamentalist.

Atlantic, That headline is so sad!
