Six things I found funny last week:

* “Oh, I get it. Sort of how like the Ye Olde Apothecary is really the bathrooms.” “No. I actually wanted to talk to you about that too.”

* The speed with which Amy Poehler fled the Update desk for marijuana-friendly Colorado. “My Dearest Seth. It pains me that I did not get a chance to say goodbye, but you’ve known since you met me that I would gladly trade our friendship for an ounce of hassle-free weed.”

* “Y’know, just plain old ‘manager’ would be fine.”

* “Brobiz before showbiz!” “Man, you guys are delightful. Now which one of y’all got my check?”

* “Bad news? Have they stopped eating?”

* “Well, yes, we’ve all lost something to the bearshark. I myself have lost my hand and my virginity.”
