White Bread Blues Why is it that stuff closest to the truth is the funniest? I think I qualify as the guy with the knife, although my cereal doesn't talk to me - well not since we had that argument this morning.

If your cereal isn't talking to you, you bought the wrong brand. :)

My name is Mark. I watch NASCAR and my wife has a personalized bowling ball.

is this funny? yes.

if it were about any group of people but white trash, would the MeFi masses be up in arms about racial/socioeconomic stereotypes? yes.

but would it still be funny? yes.

Umm, Doug, I do actually know people like the characters in the cartoon. They are out there (and they are out to get you).

Are there really people out there who use the word "varmint" in a purely non-ironic way?
