From the Dept. of Unintentional Humor - ka jowct - 05-05-2008
Spotted in an ad for a David Baldacci novel (in the subway):
"When Baldacci is on fire, nobody can touch him."
Well, duh. That's what fire extinguishers are for.

This kind of stuff is referred to as "Coleman Balls" in the UK - name after a UK sports commentator famous for "unintentional humour". Do a google on the phrase and you'll find stuff like this: http://www.btinternet.com/~homepage/ballsa.htm
One nice example from that page:" That's the fastest time ever run - but it's not as fast as the world record."

This "Coleman Balls" has got to be the topper:
