    Funny: Cartoons about cats on a lazy Sunday.

    Not funny: Making jokes about barbecuing cats when you're supposed to be working.

    We're relieved that the Federal Aviation Administration apparently agrees that making jokes at a dead animal's expense is inappropriate. It has removed the "jokester" from duty.
