...here is big scale. In olden times you gave Charlie Chaplin a pair of roller skates, or Laurel and Hardy a decrepit flivver, and they would make some kind of magic with these severely limited means. In the new century, it doesn't take a village to make us laugh, but it does sometimes require overturning a bus (piloted by Cuba Gooding Jr. as a disgraced football official and jammed with Lucy impersonators on their way to a convention), crashing a helicopter or accidentally setting a land speed record in a rocket car driven by Whoopi Goldberg and Lanai Chapman...
...Then there?s the plan to find, instead of the "marriage partner" that United was supposed to be, a good friend to set up an alliance with. This made some analysts laugh out loud - not because a partnership wouldn?t help US Airways, but because the carrier is deemed to be rather less than the sum of its parts.

Unlike most of Witherspoon's best work, Blonde was released by a studio that felt like spending more than $1.98 to promote it and came in a summer when audiences were desperate for a laugh. It could gross $60 million--a solid hit for an inexpensive film. Not that she cares very much about such matters. She seems really to mean it when she says she loves "doing small independent films, where you think, 'That's such an original voice.' I would never give up those opportunities. I don't care how much money people throw...
...unfit first-year at UCLA, for you will soon become a hermit, locked in your tiny double in Rieber Hall for fear that someone will point and laugh. Fitness is simply life for Bruins. The John Wooden Athletic Center, located in the middle of campus, is larger than all of Adams House. Everyone here is so hard-core that you’d feel silly simply walking on a treadmill—at Wooden, they’re more like sprinting machines. Feeling particularly adventurous? Don’t miss the larger-than-life simulated mountain in the middle...
