Clown, hands down.

Knowing you as I think I do, and admittedly we've never met, I think you
are going with #2. Reason being, the cannibals must think it odd to be
eating something that was NOT human.

You are correct, but for anyone else, Number 1 is definitely funnier.

Clowns are funny.......clams are not.

Exactly.

This whole issue came up at a meeting with my bud who is a Superior
Court justice and has been announced as Chief Justice when the current
Chief Justice retires.

He is a big time Jerry Garcia/Dead fan and I made a crack about
becoming the head judge. Get it? Head judge?

The conversation continued and after about two minutes, he said to me
- "Much too subtle to be funny - it's funny, but too subtle".

Which launched us into a discussion about perception (we wandered off
into the why's and how's of why people can recognize a chair, for
example, even if it's an extreme example of what a chair would look
like) and after haggling about that for a half hour, we came back
around to the nature of humor which prompted the question from me
about which cannibal joke was funnier.

He opts for #1.

I opt for #2. :>)

So - aren't you glad you asked?

Obviously, you need to watch Matrix #1 again. What a chair is was
explained by Morpheus.

But if someone else eats some really bad clams (recall John Belushi in a
SNL skit years ago), then it becomes funny.

Thus showing a complete lack of common sense and your humor
proclivities is mostly where you sit.

Clams are much funnier than clowns.

If you are calling me an ass, or saying that my sense of humor is up my
ass, you are probably correct on both points. Still, Clowns are much
funnier.

By the way, can you imagine the first person who opened a claim or
oyster and said, ''mmmmmm I wonder what this tastes like".

He had to have been one hunger dude.

That's raisins - dancing and singing raisins.
