A collection of vignettes called Ant Farm by Simon Rich is the funniest book ever. I know that is a big statement, but it is true.
You must arrange to come in to possession of this book, but you can’t read it yourself. You have to find someone to read it to you (and then switch off in all fairness), because it is not readable through the tears of hilarity.
I simply could not read this book to myself. It is that funny.
I chose this quote because it not only illustrates my point, but uses similar imagery.
Where are all the time travelers? They’re on Wall Street, smoking Cuban cigars and laughing so hard that tears are streaming down their fat faces. Meanwhile, we’re sitting around like morons, betting our money on random dogs and horses and talking about how smart Stephan Hawking is. (117)
Of course, if my endorsement is not enough, Jon Stewart is quoted as calling it (among other things) “hilarious”.
