It is a nice venue for comic relief, and I imagine a lot of us get a kick out of it. Others outside the profession, however, I doubt would find much humor in it.

That is, quite possibly, the most unfunny Web site I've ever visited.

I gotta figure out a way to get those two minutes back.

Sorry, but...

"Ok, guys, do something productive."
"I've already written two stories."
"I said productive."

...just doesn't do it for me.

Fair enough. We obviously have different tastes in comedy. That's just not funny to me. On any level.

Enjoy.
