    Reminds me a scene in a late 70's TV show called Taxi. one person was helping another study for a driving test; Questioner: "what does a yellow light mean?" Answer: "slow down" Questioner: "what......does.......a ...... yellow .......light .......mean?" Answer: "I said slow down" Questioner: "what..................does....................a .................. yellow ....................light ...................mean?" This went on for a while, it was hysterical.

    No wonder it went like this... Yellow light is always "speed up!" :)

                                Not safe for work nor kid sister friendly so I won't post it here - but look up the Peanuts Lauder cartoon for a similar joke.

                                ROTFL! That is probably the funniest Peanuts I've ever seen. Coming to think of it, that's the only funny Peanuts I've seen.
