The Funniest Tweets of the Week

Well, there’s no two ways about it: The day is once again Monday. You thought you could escape, but you were wrong. As for me, I could have escaped quite easily, I just chose not to. I care too much, you see, about copying a bunch of links from Twitter into our content management system and pressing a little button that sends them all out to you. Somedays it feels like all I care about. Other days I care instead about poetry, or birds, or certain endangered species of whale, or even the un-endangered ones, or fast-casual dining. Today it’s sort of a mix of all of the above. Please do enjoy, though:

-I’m going to kill a mockingbird.
-A mockingbird?
-A mockingbird.
-And you’re going to kill one?
-Yes. Try and keep up.
-Why?
-Because I’m walking fast.
-No. Why kill a mockingbird?
-Because if I don’t I’ll end up the most popular history professor in South Bend, Indiana. https://t.co/WTRpc7N2rZ

If I can make one person laugh, I’ve done my job. If I can make two people laugh, I’ve done my job better. Three people laughing and I’ve gone too far. I’m not here to play god.
