Am I the only one? Whenever I read more than a few articles from The Onion in a row, my brain gets conditioned to anticipate punchlines. Halfway through a headline, I'm giddy with premature joculation.Seems innocuous enough, but the trouble lies in reading the real news afterwards. The conversation inside my head usually goes something like this:
Hundreds of Iraqis --- wait for it, wait for it (teeheehee!!) --- Killed in Car Bomb Explosion. Ha ha ha...wait, what?? I really don't see what's so funny about -- ohhhhhh, right, they actually did die and it's not funny at all. I am a horrible person.

I've done this. I've read Newsweek after The Onion and was confused for about 2 paragraphs.
