Three funny things I learned today

One: Garfield is much funnier when you remove Garfield.

Garfield Minus Garfield

Two: Charlie Brooker, while already quite funny, is acerbically hilarious when you take away his cigarettes.

The Furious Smoker - Guardian Comment is Free

Three: Iran carries out more sex changes that any other country apart from Thailand.

Transsexual in Iran - tonight BBC 2, 9PM.

Why? Because homosexuality is punishable by death, whereas sex change operations are sanctioned by Islamic law.

And yeah, you're right, that last one's not funny at all. "Two funny things and one shockingly horrifying one" didn't have quite the same ring to it.

Blogger Freiya  garfield minus garfield is another stroke of internet based genius, very funny..... 
Blogger Stephanie Delacey  I confess I clicked on that Garfield minus Garfield link with a just a little scepticism... but you're right, it's brilliant!! 
Blogger sophie h  Re Garfield minus Garfield...
I find a lot of worrying similarities between Jon and myself.

Why are you all backing away and muttering to one another?

hello... 
Anonymous NH  I don't think more sex change operations was what Rowan Williams had in mind when he thought there would be more Sharia law introduced in the UK. 
Blogger Jessica Sweet TV  But Garfield 
Anonymous Zosimus the Heathen  Your inclusion of a rather grim story in an article entitled "Three funny things I learned today" reminded me of a song I once heard by Alexei Sayle in which that comedian rattled off all manner of depressing statistics, punctuating them with a jolly refrain of "It's a funny old world!"
