Only the most indigent hyenas should be too empty handed to
laugh.
And if you meant empty headed, I'm sure a lot of laughter
must come from those with large lacunae.

Imprisonments H. Naiades

What I find particularly interesting about this one is the last name. AHD gives both naiads and naiades as plurals of naiad. The former would be the more common English plural but the latter is the correct Latin plural (nom. and acc., anyway).

I really *was gonna quit posting these, but this one is extra-special: the "sender" and the message are linked.

An ad for Viagra was sent by

Johnson L. Potency

How random is that?
