- Am I missing something somewhere? I have watched Wayne's World on occasion
- (mainly after watching Star Trek and finishing knitting the row I am on -
- don't ask) and my reaction to this programme is "Is this supposed to be funny,
- or something?" I tend to sit there feeling somewhat confused while the "studio
- audience" roars with laughter at apparently nothing.
-
- Am I the only one who thinks this? Or is my sense of humour so warped I just
- can't see the funny side? Then again, I am the person who claims to be mad
- because it is the only thing that keeps me sane. 8-)
