			I'll just take a wok over there. He's dry, similar to Al Bundy, but absolutely deadpan. Thanks. Right up my alley.

			I have four intelligent sisters and they are all skilled at dry humor.  One in particular.  Like a fastball low and inside.  They sail over many peoples' heads, which is additionally funny.

			Love it! I also like Monty Python and Diane Morgan (Crunk on Earth).

			Dry humor is great!  I always loved Barney Miller, although I don't think I've seen it as an adult.

			My dad watched that show, I was a tad young at first, and lots went over my head. But Dietrich was my favorite. And I also really enjoy Monty Python. "Klein..ei? ei...oh" And that ever so slight grin. I like how when he said "wok" he almost laughed.

And then he explained the joke!  Two laughs for the price of one.

 (Yes, there's a laugh track, but like a telephone ringing, it's a suggestion, not a command)
