New Orleans humor article

bkseiver, rlseiver, and phoenixsinger, y'all need to read this. Has Mambocat seen this?

Dark humor brightens life in battered New Orleans

Some of the highlights I enjoyed:

A Hurricane Katrina evacuee walks up to a woman in a bar and says, "Want to go back to my place?"

"I'd love to," the woman replies.

"So would I," the man says.

Among the new additions to the comedy scene is a satirical newspaper, "The New Orleans Levee," with the motto: "We Don't Hold Anything Back." ... (an) article details a study showing that hurricanes did not strike New Orleans this year "because there was so little for them to do."

And ""We're a city who throws parties for funerals. That's how we deal with grief," yep!
