Thanks again to Scott Adams for another great laugh. His post today introduced his readers to a great web comic, Basic Instructions by the soon-to-be-famous Scott Meyer. In particular, he directs readers to this incredibly funny strip about disguising a yawn.

I have this problem all the time. I think it started in college where I was very frequently too tired for my 8:00 AM classes. Lecturing became a mental cue for me to yawn. Now whenever I’m in a situation involving someone talking to me at length, I’ll have the uncontrollable urge to yawn. It’s a frequent problem in meetings.

I must be terrible at hiding it, because Amy always catches me trying and says, “Just let it out; you look ridiculous!” I feel just like the guy in the strip.

Update: He must be getting more traffic than he’s used to, so the site is slow. Wait for it; it’s worth it.
