Things Learned From Funny Videos

Over the years, I've seen many funny videos. Whether it's home videos or surveillance footage from a business, whether it's online or on a TV series like 'America's Funniest Home Videos', there's a wide variety of comical things to see.

Two hours I had been like this, and hadn't even noticed. Of course, now... "Thanks a lot. Now that you've pointed it out, it's all I can think about." When I went on break, I fixed my shirt in the bathroom. This is what happens when you get dressed in a hurry...
