Dueling Punch-Lines
I don't even remember how I ended up looking at the b3ta.com photoshop challenge on the subject of "pylons", but I doubt that it matters. All I wanted to mention was
- This cartoon, in which a man finds a pylon in his soup, I find hysterically funny every time I read it, and I can't really figure out why. I mean, of course it's the reaction of the manager and the timing of the punch-line, but why?
- I enjoyed this poem from one of the entries: Mary had a little lamb, she tied it to a pylon / ten thousand volts shot up its arse, and turned its wool to nylon. Inspired!

Re: the cartoon, I can't figure out why it strikes you as so hilarious either. By all means enjoy a good laugh since it does, though.
The poem is a hoot. It elicited a laugh here. Thanks for sharing.
