Much better than all that esoteric stuff from Seneca and Aristotle and Plato, and of course the self-absorbed Oscar Wilde.

Barnabas: No Civil War reenactors are just cross-dressers who are too fat for womens clothes and heels.

"I have always thought the suicide should bump off at least one swine before taking off for parts unknown. "
— Ezra Pound

opallady on 2014-06-09 12:23:04
I think he's saying that instead of suicide by cop, train engineer, oncoming driver, or just quietly at home, how about suicide by gang banger or drug dealer and take a few with you?

jnoodles on 2015-04-04 04:41:50
opallady I think he's saying, "Time to cut me off and call me a cab."

"Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses. "

montyb on 2013-05-21 21:53:28
Oh come on,folks. This is much funnier than the 4.6 rating it had before I voted.

oddcouple on 2013-12-29 01:59:14
Not true. Molasses moves much faster than bureaucracy.

The colder it gets, the slower it moves, nothing funny about that!

one of the best comment sections i've seen

"A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus. "
— E. B. White

seemoreglass09 on 2009-03-22 06:13:46
it says "sense of humus" I'm gonna guess it should say "sense of humor"

kat on 2009-05-16 17:13:29
It is a pun. "Humus" (Origin: 1790–1800; < Latin: earth, ground[1]) is degraded organic material in soil, which causes some soil layers to be dark brown or black.

silveryaspen on 2009-06-30 14:18:49
and the farmer who recognizes humus knows it is good fertile black top soil ...

bansaisequoia on 2009-09-07 01:27:58
A good Middle Eastern restaurateur is nothing more nor less than a person with a sense of hummus.

kat on 2009-10-04 17:28:44
mmm....hummus.....

chriscrojam on 2011-12-08 01:54:01
I always assumed E.B. White was a woman.

fishbum on 2012-10-16 18:31:34
If you bought a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) you might have a good sense of hummer.

bansaisequoia on 2012-10-28 02:57:34
I watch the Simpsons to gain a sense of Homer.

montyb on 2012-11-15 20:51:52
Somewhere out there is a "carpenter with a good sense of hammer" pun, but I won't be the one to inflict it upon the world.

SippyGirl on 2013-09-13 15:23:29
omg, ellie krieger has an amazing recipe for edamame hummus. she's really nice, too - i used to work at the same place and she was always a sweetie.

universalmom on 2014-01-30 07:30:36
See, this is why I enjoy the "comments" section so much!

Ian123 on 2014-03-03 19:24:43
A good farmer is one who is out standing in his field..

LLapp on 2014-10-21 16:19:21
chriscrojam, if you ever happen back around these parts: Mr. E.B. White was one of the kindest humans and finest writers ever to grace this world. If you have ever seen the little blue writing manual called "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White -- he was the White in that pair, and he published it after he was already a famous writer. Strunk was his English professor at college. He liked Prof. Strunk's writing tips so much that after he was well connected to publishers, he decided to get them published. But first he added some chapters of his own -- and it's the chapters by White that make the book so loved. The end.

maradnu on 2015-03-07 10:02:47
When I was in college - back in the dark ages - I took a writing course, and Strunk/White was one of the books we used.
