Line 62:
** "Oh, I was just gonna get stoned and party naked until I pass out from sexual exhaustion" *Laugh*
* Eric Raymond advises in hacker culture, particularly in open source mailing lists, that because subtle emotions don't carry well in text, it's better to flame so openly and over the top ridiculously, if you're going to flame at all, so that everyone knows you're just being silly. Haha, only serious.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130806155128/http://funnyexam.com/answers/popular/1608-a-whale-is-fine-too This] exam answer.
** Except not, because the answer below it is marked with the same checkmark, while it is clearly wrong (has a total of 6 roots listed for a 5th-degree polynomial).
*** It's clearly right, provided there's more that's cut off at the bottom of the image. There can be any finite number of possible rational roots.
Line 99:
** Darius McCollum, who was obsessed with the New York transit system. At 5, he had memorized all of the routes. At 15, he hijacked a train and drove it along its ordinary route. Passengers did not notice. To this day he is still being arrested for impersonating transit workers.
* Ventriloquist [[Jeff Dunham]] balances his entire act on this. A character named "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" sounds like it should be horribly offensive... but a skeleton with [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]] who laments about having killed his son by taking him to Take Your Child to Work Day? Hilarious.
** Ironically, it somehow backfired on his short-lived TV show. It was canceled after 6 episodes, partially due quickly slipping ratings, and partially due to [https://web.archive.org/web/20100430191752/http://livefeed.hollywoodreporter.com/2009/10/review-jeff-dunham-show-a-complete-train-wreck.html critics claiming it was racist]. They forget that Carlos Mencia got away with ''much'' worse on Mind of Mencia simply because Mencia was a minority.
* Absolutely everything [[Mock the Week|Frankie Boyle]] has ever said, ever. For him it's not so much a refuge as a home.

Line 157:
** [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|A man recently had a fatal heart attack there.]]
* eBay sellers that charge something like $100 for an item or more when there are others selling for way less. Possibly justifiable if you're the only one who ships internationally or something, but otherwise, who do they think they're trying to kid?
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130806135742/http://funnyexam.com/answers/popular/1610-actually-i-think-this-may-w this.] it takes [[Breathless Non-Sequitur]] [[Up to Eleven]].
* [http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/11/us-malaysia-theft-idUSTRE72A6PR20110311 A house was stolen].
* John Wilkes Booth managed to escape capture at the Ford Theater due to the simple fact that what he did was so ''outrageous'' nobody realized what he'd done. He had time to jump onto the stage, breaking a leg, deliver a [[Bond One-Liner]], and then limp to his horse on the aforementioned broken leg before riding off into the night... while the majority of the theater was still trying to figure out what he'd done. (That is, shooting Abraham Lincoln.) He even did this while there were military personnel at the theater!
