    Since I'm a jazz musician, I like the one that says "Charlie Parker's Hell" and he in a recording studio (or radio station) being forced to listen to Kenny G and smooth jazz.

    I have many favorites. About 10-15 years ago I had a daily calendar at work. I would constantly laugh at the cartoons but I would also constantly have to explain why they were funny to my co-workers. Some people just don't get the jokes.

    A guy is stranded on a tiny desert island with only one palm tree when a box floats up to him. He opens the box to find a "Turtle World" pet habitat that looks exactly like the little island he is stranded on. The slogan on the box says "Your Turtle Will Love It!"

    There are quite a few that I love, but there is one that always stands out (I wish I could find it on the net somewhere!!). It shows a family of bean bags, mom, dad and son. They're inside their home looking out the window and see these 2 guys walking up. Then it shows the dad saying "Jehovah's witnesses, Jehovah's witnesses!!!! Quick, everyone act like bean bag chairs!!" I don't know what it is but that one just cracks me up!

    The 'Luposlipophobia' one is one of my favorites.

    Also the one that says 'How Natures Says 'Do Not Touch''.

    And the 'What! You're STILL a fly??' is really funny...

    There's one where there are blind people who are picketing, with signs. But because they're blind, they're picketing in front of the wrong building. Instead of picketing in front of the building for the blind, they're picketing next door. The building next door is a center for the illiterate and there are people looking down at the pickets signs, but they can't read them.

    That's just twisted. What kind of a mind thinks of something like that?

    I don't have one because I don't read it.
