Make those backseat seatbelt locks that never seem to be simple
especially when there is a hot impressable chick in the back seat
with you, actually metal tactile puzzles that are impossible to solve
and then film the hilarity and extract usability statistics.

Please explain how this is funny? |
|
|
It contains a humorous usage of irony, applied in a deadpan
manner. It's as least as funny as a 500,000 volt abacus. |
|
|
At least it's not in Other:General ... |
|
|
And it's funnier than the Electric Marmoset-stretcher idea. Just about. |
|
|
Oh well. I guess I'm just out of step with those who see the
idea of a "hot chick" being filmed trapped in a car's back
seat as being funny. I certainly fail to see the irony in it.
Perhaps that could be explained further. In what way is
there "humorous irony" in the idea? |
|
|
Yes, [Ray], perhaps you would like to Explain To The Class In Your
Own Words, With The Aid Of Diagrams ... ? |
|
|
We're waiting, [Ray] .... |
|
|
Perhaps a little too eagerly for a usual sentence diagram.
They go like this: |
|
|
Subject | Verb | Direct Object
\__optional modifier |
|
|
That's generally how it works. |
|
|
Note that I never said that I personally found it funny. But
that it was at least as funny as one of your crueler ideas,
along with a general explanation of one type of humor. |

I thought the intended funniness was that you would not be
able to help her do up her seatbelt when getting into the
car. When I have difficulty with a seatbelt, it's always when
doing it up (because I'm trying to mate ends that don't go
together), never when undoing it. |
