That is good, nice one.

 

[Clawn]

I may not be that old, but this fart was kept busy for at least 50 seconds.

 

[EmperorHirohito]

Oh no my missus read it out loud perfectly in under 30 seconds!!
She sure is good at oral presentation

 

[hideway]

Funny.

I tried to be serious but I laughed at fart cat... Thats so rediculous but this is good, nice job.

I thought it was cute and got a giggle from it. I sent it to my neighbor who is over 40 and she was ticked off at me and thought I meant "something" by it. At first I felt guilty (just a bit) and then her reaction mad me laugh more than the joke. Some people just take things too seriously.

 

[Skullcrushergurl]

LoL That was really funny...
I was busy for less than 40 seconds....

 

[Kama]

This is great. Don't know how long I read it though.

Took me 20 seconds. No mistake. But I don't understand the point.

Read it vertically. Next-to-last word only.

These kinds of jokes bore me. It's almost as painfully redundant as the how to keep an idiot busy t-shirt.

I did. That's the first thing I did. So what ? Did that when I was 10 years old with friends. That's how we passed coded message at school.
