Out of Context = not funny so much as weird
Occasionally at work I come up with a brilliant idea, something I'm sure will make a great story. Sometimes it comes when I'm looking up copyright laws on recipes, directions for how to make origami pumpkins, or images of Soviet katyushas (my new favorite weapon of war, mostly because they spelled it with a y and not ie. Everyone spells it ie). In the moment, they are brilliant ideas, short stories that are sure to impress. I write them down in the Hello Kitty notepad I keep in my purse. Later, when I've forgotten what prompted me to write these things down, I'm less pleased by the ideas.
Recent examples:
Hot dogs and tuna
Say 'I do' to cookies
T-shirt with pinata that says 'I'd hit that' (okay, this one's still funny)*
* when I went searching for this shirt, I also found the following...
I'm putting an order in for the last one.

I've wanted the Shakespeare shirt for a long time now.
About fifteen years ago I wrote a screenplay entitled Missouri Loves Company. Sure, it was set in Missouri, but maybe a more appropriate title would have mentioned it was about a town full of zombies.
Oh, by the way . . . it was as terrible as it sounds. I haven't thought of it in a while though. Now I need therapy again.
