I find many of these hilarious.
But then I live in Suffolk, England which is a bit like a quiet backwater
in the Catskills. Furthermore, I have never owned a television so my humor
threshhold is probably a bit low. Humor views are often the bargain basement
of stereoviews; they were produced in vast numbers and a good joke was
shared by all the producers with blithe disregard for copyright. Anyway,
enjoy them, even buy a few, and I promise to inflict more on you. Over
230 views were added to these pages in February 2010. For further humorous
views please see the COLOR pages.
