Some Coffee Cake Cooked Up In The Kitchen With Your — Gulp — Limburger Cheese?

For generations we’ve been taught that the funniest words, the words guaranteed to get laughs, all have a hard “K” sound. Coconut, crazy, Ku Klux Klan, Buick — just to name a crafty few.
Woody Allen once asserted that no word is funnier than “feathers.” Being a hard “K” traditionalist and loyalist, I couldn’t concur.
But today there’s a kooky wrinkle.
Instapundit points us to a Yale Law Journal piece detailing which Supreme Court Justices are funniest, and why.
This part gives makes me cuckoo:
Once in a while, a Justice will get a laugh just for saying a funny word, like on November 10, 2004, when Justice Breyer made the gallery laugh by saying “Limburger cheese.”
The gallery laughed at that?! That’s one easy gallery. Memo to self: take cream cheese out of the act.
