How to make me laugh, if you're too lazy to tell a joke

The word “Mart” always cracks me up. It just sounds so absurd to me, when uttered all by itself.
Mart! ...LOL!
Say the word “Mart” ten times and try not to laugh.
I can’t do it.
Mart!
Monosyllabic comedy gold.

There was a young man named Mart
Who thought he was terribly smart
He went into the loo
and tried to make pooh
but instead of a shit it was fart!

Lynda said...

If you pause, then it sounds like Mart is all by itself.

Janna said...

Leeuna: Welcome! Yes, I think K-Mart was my very first "mart" too. They're hard to find these days; it seems like Wal-Mart has taken everyone over. :(
