Atomic Nerds

Lawdog displays the latest edition in the inexorable march of the image macro to cause him to laugh uncontrollably. I sympathize; I laughed like hell the first time I saw Hitman Monkey, I did last night when Stingray found it elsewhere, I did when I saw it at Lawdog’s, and I suspect that even after nuclear winter, if you showed it to my half-dead corpse, you’d still get a bit of a giggle out of my carcass.

That said, the all-time internet champion of this effect on me is this image:

I have no idea who originally created it. I know only that I saw it first years ago, that it made me nearly collapse on my keyboard laughing, and that it still has the exact same effect on me no matter where I encounter it. I don’t know why it’s so funny, especially when the same pun in other contexts has left me cold. It remains the mysterious Humor Atom Bomb of my soul.
