“That’s not swimming, it’s frolicking.” ~ Nick
Now tell me that’s not funny. I mean, c’mon, it’s funny!

Depends completely on the context, although that Nick is a funny guy…

Comment by J. on Thursday, January 08, 2004 Okay, okay, clearly the context is necessary in order to prove just how funny this comment was.
Nick was looking for clipart that depicted a swimmer to use for a display. He had a whole screen of swimmers and I pointed out one that was of a small child in a pool wearing water wings.
“How about that one?” I asked.
Nick, without pausing and completely serious, responded, “That’s not swimming, it’s frolicking.”
C’mon people. FROLICKING. When was the last time you used the word frolicking in casual conversation? It was funny, dammit.
Comment by Kristina on Thursday, January 08, 2004 I think maybe this is only funny if you were there.
Comment by Ellen on Thursday, January 08, 2004 Sigh… you’ll have to trust me that it was funny when he said it.
Comment by Kristina on Thursday, January 08, 2004 It is very funny. When Kris told me the story, I thought
Nick is so cool, everyone should get to know him.
