Have you ever watched a train-wreck in progress? Have you ever known that you were the butt of laughter, and couldn't do a thing to stop it? (And even if you could, why would you because it actually is very funny?)

Have you ever seen a prank building up, growing bigger than the prankster ever intended, not malicioius at heart, but instead in good humor and with good (sort-of) intentions?

* * * * *

Have you ever watched something that you started at a whim without planning or premonition, take off like a lightning bolt and succeed wilder than your wildest imagination?

Have you ever anticipated a punch line so ambitious that you don't know if it will really happen the way you intended, but if it does, you can never top it?

If "you" are reading this, be forewarned. You only *think* you've seen as good as it gets!
