Fleeting Moments of Comedic Brilliance

Comedy is a combination of the right words or actions said or performed at the right moment that makes someone laugh. Occasionally these elements combine in a form of comedic brilliance. Today, I had one of those moments.

In my e-marketing class we were getting to know the teacher and other people in the class. While talking about companies that used solid e-marketing strategies someone mentioned Google and eBay. The teacher asked, "Did everyone hear about the Google/Ebay merger?" At that moment, I uttered the right thing at exactly the right time to make everyone in that room burst into laughter. I quickly quipped back, "Oh great, now that means they'll auction off the world."

The reaction was better than even I had expected.

I know that the hilarity of that moment probably will never be repeated again.
