This thread reminded me of one of my favorite threads of all time (and not because I started it!):

That is now also one of my favorite threads, great stuff! Reminds me of the time I slipped into the bathroom while Patty was showering. I was operating in stealth mode as she was enjoying her shower. I had a huge bottle of "Pert" shampoo and quietly waited until she started washing her hair. When she was in the rinse cycle I reached over the curtain and started applying the shampoo in a slow but very constant stream and watched as she started rubbing furiously at the copious amounts of lather that was being generated. This went on for at least a full minute as the suds prevented her from opening her eyes and she was adjusting the shower head and muttering some things that had me laughing hysterically. I finally stopped applying the shampoo and the lather eventually subsided to the point where she could open her eyes and see what I was doing. What a hoot, we still chuckle about it, 20 some years later.

So my buddy#1 calls another buddy#2 to borrow his lawnmower. #2 says come get it, I need to go get some barley pops, it's in the garage and gave him the code. #1 gets over there and opens the door and gets the lawnmower only to see what he thinks is a rubber snake (joke), only it started chasing him and he couldn't move back fast enough. Buddy #2 gets home just in time to see buddy #1 doing a snake dance. He was laughing really hard until he realized it was a water mocassin and it had gone behind his washing machine. Armed with a hoe and a broom stick, they managed to kill it and they said it immediately stunk up the whole neighborhood like a skunk. They had no idea a mocassin being killed would stink up the place so bad. They both nearly puked.

BTY, if you didn't know, my north Texas buddy EddieWalker don't like snakes either.

I havent been here long enough maybe, but this is not the first time I have heard this, I almost PMed him to warn him not to view the largest dead snake thread a few weeks back. He has posted since so I guess hes alright. but why does everyone emphasize it so much, Is there a funny story for why its so etched in everyones mind?

I respect the snake jokes aren't funny sentiment. As mentioned, comedy is very subjective. Now if someone pulled the rubber snake on me, that could be funny.

Eddies snake encounters are funny in themselves. Live snakes have more entertainment value.

In my family - I mean I do it to kids and my wife and they will do it to me if I give them a chance - cold water tossed over the shower curtain when somebody is showering is considered funny. But it takes a lot of will power not to use bad words when it happens to you.

Many years ago, I had an alarm clock set for 5:30 a.m. when I had to get up to get ready to go to work, and my wife was hard to awaken and get up. I'd have to call her several times before she'd get out of bed. So one morning, I got just a tiny bit of cold water in a little glass; not more than a spoonful and went in the bedroom and poured it in her face. She sprang from the bed alright, and stayed mad for about 3 days, but she sure got out of bed when the alarm went off every morning; just wasn't speaking to me. And then one morning, when I got up, she didn't. I went in the bathroom to brush my teeth, turned the water on in the lavatory, and she jumped out bed yelling bad things at me, when I hadn't even thought about getting water to pour on her again.

Back in the 70's my wife and I and another couple went to see the Exorcist.

We were living in an apartment and my wife was doing laundry in the basement.

She was coming up the stairs with a full basket of clothes with her back to me and I did

my best version of the growl of the possessed girl. I never saw her move so fast.

In one step she covered about five of the steps. She wouldn't talk to me for the next 24 hrs.
