And people say that you Yanks don’t have keen a sense of humor! This is American satire at its finest.

To: DieHard the Hunter

To paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones:

“We here in America have no sense of humor that we’re aware of.”

I, myself, being a first generation American, was born with a vestigial sense of humor, thanks to my father, who emigrated here from Scotland. In order to become a proper American and “fit in” with the mainstream, I had it surgically removed (a total funnybonectomy) at the age of twelve.

Since then, I have, for the sake of my friends from other parts of the world, tried to learn a few jokes by rote. The only problem now is that when I tell one and everybody laughs, they then have to explain it to me, because I no longer “get it.”
