The funniest book I’ve ever read …
Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector: I did it as part of my O-levels and even as a teen I thought it was the funniest book. It is yet to be proven otherwise.

The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I once felt a bit sick on one of those planes that fly over the Grand Canyon, and when we landed, a few people helped me to the lounge for a lie down.

The funniest number …
