How the Other 1% Lives

As we've seen before, when I need cheering, I like to read the BYU Police Beat. Those kids at BYU are always up to no good.

I've also been letting the spam accumulate in my gmail, so I can read the sender and subject lines for a laugh.

• "You're a moron." from sechrest (Ryan? Is that you?)
• "CONGRATULATIONS!!!" from Toyota Promochin
• "Why lie? I need money."

I know it's sad, but they're funnier than anything my friends are sending me. Take that as a challenge and step it up. Maybe I've an especially odd sense of humor. Wouldn't surprise me. I've watched this video countless times and it makes me giggle every time. I'm not sure if it's only because I know the kid. Tell me, is this funny?
