I laughed quite a lot while reading Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. It had some deep meanings in it but it appeared to me very funny.
"Let's go. Yes, let's go. (They do not move)."
- Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot, Act I
^^when this happens quite a lot in the play it is hilarious I loved it.

Reminded me of a court case here yesterday: the man had a wife & 3 kids plus 2 girlfriends (engaged to both) here & a girlfriend in Poland who also has his child. One fiancé is a police officer & he was jailed for defrauding her brother of EUR250,000 Dare say he needs the time in prison for a bit of R & R :roll:

Not so much hilarious as profound.

And from an odd source - the TeeVee show The Jeffersons.

Mother Jefferson is having a birthday and lieing about her age.

The maid tells her

"Honey if you goin to lie about it tell folk you is 5 year older than you is, then they be thinkin you be lookin good fo yo age"
