FAQ
Q: What does FAQ stand for?

Q: Are you saying it could mean something else?
A: Yes.
Q: What?
A: It could mean Frequently Answered Questions.
Q: Anything else?
A: Actually it could mean lots of other things, but we won't go into that. Our mothers might be reading.
Q: Well, what does it mean for this group?
A: It means Frequently Asked Questions.
Q: Why?
A: We decided based on the amount of work required. If we had chosen Frequently Answered Questions, we would have been in big trouble.
Q: Why?
A: Simple. If FAQ means Frequently Answered Questions, that would mean we would actually have to go to the work required to answer them. But with Frequently Asked Questions, we can simply list the questions and leave it at that. We don't have to actually answer them!
Q: But in doing all this you have just now answered 7 questions. Don't you think your attempts at avoiding work failed?
A: Good point, but we're used to failure. We're humor writers.
Q: Do you have to think before you write submissions for this group?
A: What kind of thinking you are referring to?
Q: What is the most important question?
A: For most people, it is "what's the meaning of life?" But of course it's different for humor writers.
Q: Well then, what is the most important question for humor writers?
A: For humor writers, the most important question is "who's on first?"
Q: So who is on first?
A: You have to join the group to find out.
