Thought I'd open cafe while breakfast is cooking/ burning. Im sure these ones must have been done before, so please replace with different theme if like. Though I'll still be charging managament for these ones.
1. (a) Post favourate comic sketch, either you tube scene from film or series, or stand up routine; or even funniest scene from book or play (e.g. Shakespeare, though I never found that guy funny). or
1. (b) Most inspirational clip from a film.
2. What is the nicest thing someone has done or said to help u when things were tough.

I'm gonna go with my favorite funny scene from a book... that is the Clevinger's Trial section of Catch-22. It takes place in chapter 8. Later, the author, Joseph Heller, adapted it into a short play, which I haven't seen. The videos I've found of the scene seem to be mostly school products from what I can gather. I'm too lazy to dig through everything. But here's a link to someone else's adaptation of it into a script. http://www.oocities.org/stuartthiel/clevingerscript.html It's ridiculous and sardonic. I find it hilarious.

I looked on Youtube and found a portion of the book containing the trial scene being read aloud by the author. His voice annoys me and doesn't do the scene justice. I was thinking of sharing it but decided not to.
The whole book is pretty funny but dark. If you know anything about Catch-22 and have looked at my profile recently, you'll recognize my pseudonym :) I'd recommend reading the book, but it takes a little time and patience. It's fairly long and told in non-linear time. I really started to put the pieces together of what happens on my second readthrough, but I can still find things to appreciate and make connections after reading it at least 10 more times.
