Robert Sheckley is one of the great funny writers – but a severe pareidolia sufferer. Please give generously.

By the mid-eighties the pet-rock craze became unsustainable.

Needs a BEHIND YOU! tag. Probably needs all the BEHIND YOU! tags.

This is a good start, but what if it had boobs? I think the tree and the rock should have boobs.
WHO IS WITH ME???

One word, my stony friend, “moisturizer”.

@Tom: For a modest fee, I think they’ve got you taken care of.

So, the “Face in Tree” tag—just a bit too, obvious?

I thought at first they were all leaking oil, but now I see they are all levitating. Glad to see there is a rational explanation for the purple blobs.

“Funny” as in something smells funny here.

Dad: “All right, who put the toys in the aquarium?”
Junior: “Maybe they decided to take a bath, Dad?”

Douglas Adams’s blurb is a bit restrained. It’s like David Edidings saying “Lord of the Rings? Yes, I think I read that once’.

I wonder how you become a writer of The Great Funny. How many Great Funny writers are there?

Did the giant sleeping rock (and friends) teach that man how to levitate? And why are they levitating, anyway? Did they anger Mother Earth or something?

Robert “Sheckley” Greene, King of the Catskills circuit. So, you want funny?
• There was a beautiful young woman knocking on my hotel room door all night! I finally had to let her out.
• A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says, “Are you comfortable?” The man says, “I make a good living.”
• I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
• I’ve been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If my wife ever finds out, she’ll kill me!
• What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she’s making love? “Honey, I’m home!”
• Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won’t be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.
• We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
• My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night, only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.
• My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. My wife called it the Dead Sea.
• She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
• I was just in London – there is a 6-hour time difference. I’m still confused. When I go to dinner, I feel sexy. When I go to bed, I feel hungry.

@Francis Boyle – Look … there’s a tag added … BEHIND YOU!

Jumps.

I should be surprised at the fact that there is a “face tree” tag, but I find I really can’t be.
