    ROTFL, I love starting out Fridays with a laugh!

  4. economist   17 years ago

    Finally, a good Friday Funny.

  5. Anon   17 years ago

    Mediocre, which is a step up for the FFs.

  6. domoarrigato   17 years ago

    Solid "B" effort.

  7. sage   17 years ago

    Is funny because is true.

  8. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Anonymity Guy's response to it is funnier than the comic itself.

  9. dhex   17 years ago

    he's doing this on purpose, isn't he?

  10. P Brooks   17 years ago

    Geithner:

    "On Vulcan, we do not punish people for making money; it is illogical."

  11. Phil D   17 years ago

    funny when I heard it on talk radio a week ago

  12. Dilbert Fan   17 years ago

    funny when I heard it on talk radio a week ago

    Still funny today, or no? Payne drew this a week and a day ago anyway, so your talk radio stole it. He just didn't submit it in time for last week's Friday Funny, and then it sat around the [R]eason office for a week.

    My opinion: This week's Friday Funny was a joy, not a payne! XD

  13. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    better: B-

  14. Mo   17 years ago

    I'm convinced FF is some sort of Dada performance of non-funniness. Our reactions are part of it.

  15. Episiarch   17 years ago

    I wish I could believe that, Mo. That would be great.

  16. Kolohe   17 years ago

    Gentleman's C.

  17. P Brooks   17 years ago

    The audience is the show.

  18. SugarFree   17 years ago

    P Brooks,

    Take a look under your seat.

    "And you get a car, and you get a car..."

  19. Digital Converter Box   15 years ago

    Another excellent post, thank you, this is why I continue visiting here!

  20. Scarpe Nike   15 years ago
