Funny Animals
6381. A Dog Running Out of a Butcher Shop With a String of Sausages in Its Mouth
Preferably a scrappy little scamp who could be called Rags and a red-faced butcher running after him with an apron and big red cheeks looking like he's about to pop an embolism. See also Old-Timey, Pets.
Funny Words
6383. Logorrhea
From the Greek "log" (word) and the Latin "orrhea" (to shoot forcefully out of an orafice) comes this portmanteau which means to talk excessively.
Funny Clothes
6384. Z. Cavaricci Pants
Brand of pants in the early 90's that featured an inordinate amount of pleats and buckles and a white "Z. Cavaricci" tag on the fly. Think Vanilla Ice or these dudes. See also 90's.
Funny Insults

We can thank Yiddish and the wonderful cab drivers of New York City for this one.
Funny Things
6387. Opposite Day
One day a year I get to shower with my clothes on, wear shoes on my hands, drive backwards down the wrong side of the road, tell my boss what to do, poop in the urinals and pee in the toilets, type with my feet, have cashiers pay me when I buy items, lose weight by eating Big Macs, and have my dog take me for a walk. Opposite day rules! See also Made Up.

6389. Box of Rattlesnakes
From today's New York Times obituary of Evel Knievel, "When he was 27, he became co-owner of a motorcycle shop in Moses Lake, Wash. To attract customers, he announced he would jump his motorcycle 40 feet over parked cars and a box of rattlesnakes and continue on past a mountain lion tethered at the other end. Before 1,000 people, he did the stunt as promised but failed to fly far enough; his bike came down on the rattlesnakes." See also Animals.
