What is funny?
Funny is something
we can relate to
that unfolds
in an unusual fashion.
A picture
of blue cheese dressing
photoshopped with the word
“cum” on it.
That is funny.
Cum doesn’t come in salad dressing bottles.
Hahaha.
Now if you step back a bit,
is that really funny?
Is it funny at all?
What would prompt someone
to go out of their way
to take a bottle
of blue cheese dressing
and change the label
to read “cum?”
What would prompt you to laugh?
Cum on.
You know the answer.
