Editor's note: I suppose that comedy is basically familiarity re-told in humorous tones. The problem with that is that one's man funny is another's banal. I don't exactly find these tales to be from either camp. Maybe ironic at best. Kind of how British humor and American humor seem to not mesh at all at any discernible intersection. I guess that somebody in New England finds this ha-ha-hilarious but I can't find much to laugh about most places let alone here.
