Movie Store "Who's on First."
CUSTOMER: Why can't I rent Seven?
CASHIER: Because it's over the limit.
CUSTOMER: Right, but I want Seven. Get rid of Ten.
CASHIER: (Pause.) That would leave negative three.

Ha, ok---ya that "via" was gratuitous. And I know it's taboo to post McSweeney's links on Metafilter, but I couldn't resist. I found it funny but I suppose that's only via my opinion.

A tear of mirth just rolled down my cheek via my duct.

I bet if I were jacked up on Starbucks caffeine, this would crack me up.

Didja hear about the duck who went to the video store to rent "Before Sunrise?" He told the clerk to put it on his bill.

Didn't people make hay with Chinese president's last name, Hu, when he came on the scene? There's another Chinese last name 'He', properly pronounced like 'her', which begs for an Abbott-and-Costello treatment as well.

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?(And amusingly enough, Silune came up with my site for the "Who's on stage" link...thanks!)
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That’s what I want to know.
Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.
George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.

Speaking as someone who used to work in a video store in which all kinds of crazy antics took place: this isn't funny.
