4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty funny, but not the very best, February 19, 2005

This review is from: The Onion Ad Nauseam 2005 Day-By-Day Calendar: Complete News Archives, Volume 14 (Calendar)

I love The Onion, particularly when it arrives in my email box and I read it first thing in the morning before I've had my morning coffee - and forget for a moment that it isn't real! (As happened the other day, when I read that Ben & Jerry's was naming an ice cream flavor in honor of Michael Moore.. I thought, "really???")

That said, I must say that they didn't seem to pick the funniest stories for this calendar. Some are simply hilarious. Some are just sort of cute.

The funny ones, however, are worth wading through the "so-so" ones.

Just be prepared to not want to tear off any of the pages! They're too good to throw away!

Today's joke is: "Weird Coworker Apparently Likes Walking Two Miles to Work Every Day". While it's cute, I didn't find it hilarious.

However, one very funny one has the headline, "Pepsi CEO's Wife Buys Coke When She's Mad at Him".

I guess it's like SNL - it's not all brilliant, but it's worth watching because you know something brilliant is going to happen at some point, and you don't want to miss it!
