Today over lunch, a classmate was telling a tasteless story about midget tossing competitions. He said something about “Yeah, so they use hummous and toss them!” (Hey, don’t blame me: I said it was tasteless).

“HUMMOUS?!” a second classmate asked incredulously. “Why not tabouli?”
“Why not couscous?!” I said.
“Why not babaganoush?” asked a third classmate.

The first classmate looked at us with a blank stare. “No, HELMETS, you guys. HELMETS!!”
Needless to say, we all laughed so hard we cried.

Maybe you had to be there.
