"For my birthday I got a humidifier and a dehumidifier. I put them in the same room and let them fight it out."

"I replaced the headlights on my car with strobe lights. Now it looks like I'm the only one moving."

"I wrote a song, but I can't read music. Every time I hear a new song on the radio, I think 'Hey, maybe I wrote that.'"
