Humor Carnival 1 (April Fools Edition)
Happy April Fools Day! And welcome to the first edition of the Humor Carnival, the only carnival that (so far as I know) let’s you vote for your favorite post. And awards a $10 PayPal cash prize to whichever site gets the most votes.
I was astonished to receive 59 submissions — not bad for a spanking new carnival. Okay, some submitters seem to have confused this with the Carnival of Spam. But still…
I’m posting my favorite twelve submissions — humor that made me laugh out loud or giggle uncontrollably. These pieces, song parodies, verse, and even a cartoon run the gamut from relationship humor, psychiatry humor, and political satire, to religion humor, job hunting humor, money humor, and humor about trying to write humor.
I hope you enjoy these funny posts as much as I did. And when you’re done reading, please don’t forget to vote for your favorite:
Dale presents Twenty Ways The Specious Report Is Like The Onion posted at The Specious Report.
Don Davis presents Obama Sings: Jeremiah’s Bull is My Bog posted at The Satirical Political Report.
Michael Dare presents The Passenger Psychiatrist posted at Dareland.
Holly Ord presents Easter–Menstrual Poetry Style! posted at Menstrual Poetry.

Jeremy Zongker presents Dan Gibson’s Cartoon: What if Everyone Practiced Universal Default? posted at Destroy Debt.
Brittany Fischer presents Walkin the Walk (of Shame, that is) posted at Brittany’s Hotspots.
So, do you have a favorite? Please vote and let us know. Remember, there’s ten whole dollars at stake! The winner will be announced in the next edition, on or about April 22, 2008.
That concludes this edition. I sure hope you’ll submit your funny pieces, satire, song parodies, cartoons, and humorous verse to the next edition of the Humor Carnival using this carnival submission form. Past Humor Carnival posts will be archived here and can also be found on the Humor Carnival index page.
