Funny, maybe?

This happened the other night and I just thought about it because of something else I saw on TV today. I am a member of International Brotherhood of Magician Ring 129. During our meetings we give members to sell magic related "stuff". One particular member regularly sells decks of cards (custom printed, limited editions, one-offs, etc.), and he whips out a deck of Iraq's Most Wanted cards. Nothing that we haven't seen before, but he goes on to tell us that each card has a picture of a wanted person in Iraq, "except most of 'em are dead now". At the time it brought the house down, and I still think it's funny. Not because of what he said, but the way he said it. It was so dead-pan that it was the funniest thing I'd heard in months.
