One of the things that helps me keep pressing ahead with more kanji everyday is reading the funny stories that you guys sometimes come up with. Every now and then, I'll come across one that will cause me to just fall over in laughter. For instance, just now I came across 1687 痢 Diarrhea - "Caveman doesn't have any skills, so he sells his diarrhea as chili to peasant wheat farmers for an amazing profit."

There are so many other good ones that I've come across that I can't even remember them right now :p
What are some of the funniest stories that you have seen?

I liked this one for Haiku:

I pity the fool
Who put me in this jail cell
I pity the fool

Yeah, I don't use Mr. T as my person, but I had to adopt that story...

A bunch of stories have made me laugh out loud, but the first one that did so (which I will *never* forget) was for the keyword/kanji "FORMERLY" that reads:

"The Artist formerly Known as Prince has the horniest brain around, and I think you can imagine what his wagging tongue is doing..."

As I grew up during Prince's hey-day, I found this story unbelievably accurate & illustrative. People don't often remember that he is very reserved (sexually) now compared to what he used to be like in the 80s.  Anyone remember what he used to do with his guitar when he used to wear nothing but a G-string on stage? (I ask knowingly...smile )

I just laughed out loud at the top story for "hug":

"A mysterious turkey with human fingers wants to hug me... I will never go to Tokyo Disneyland again!"

Thanks, Proxx smile

Just ran into this one:

阻
Thwart: The shortness of the Japanese thwarts their attempts to reach the topmost (pinnacle) shelf without grabbing a chair. - raulir

Love it! I can see the short Japanese guy trying to reach the topmost shelf but he just can't reach it.
