Could words do this? (this WILL load if you wait 30 seconds!)

And, if that doesn't amuse you, another side of Mr.Mainstay, aka Dan Ackroyd:



So how would you make either of these funny if all you had were the words on the page? Do you think books can EVER be as funny as things that are acted out?

I've laughed at books, quite often, but I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at anything in a book that I started to cry, and that used to happen quite a lot when I watched the old SNL. And in fact, the Julia child one -- which I hadn't seen since then -- had the same effect. I realize that not everyone will find either of these skits as funny as I do -- maybe no one will!
