15. Funniest thing you’ve read recently?

Hen: (from Bionicle Legends #3: Power Play): Jaller turned to Nuparu. “You’ll have to fly us over.” “Now wait a minute,” Kongu broke in. “Let’s be sensible. Nuparu and I can switch masks and I’ll do the flying.” Jaller was going to respond, but never got the chance. “That does make sense. I can’t argue with it. But destiny, for whatever reason, gave me this mask. There has to be a reason for that.” “Destiny has a sense of humor?” jeered Kongu. “I think I’m supposed to have it. I’m not going to give it up. Not yet.” Then he broke into a grin. “Besides, flying’s kind of fun.” “Wonderful,” said Kongu, shaking his head. “They can deep-carve that on our memorial stones — “but at least Nuparu had fun.” Nuparu rose into the air and grabbed on to Kongu. Before the Toa of Air could protest, Nuparu had him halfway across the gorge. When they reached the other side, he unceremoniously dropped Kongu to the ground.

Jeff: Probably something from The Onion.
