In my family we have a saying, “German humor is no laughing matter.”

The things that I find hilarious often evoke much eye-rolling around the family dinner table from both the children and my spouse. (Like she should talk. The most hilarious thing in my wife’s pantheon of humor is a dog behind the wheel of an automobile.)

So when I point you to Jeff Skiver’s blog, I want to warn you first. While I almost soiled myself as I read about his alleged deeds heading up a Weebelo troop, you might just shake your head as you clear the cache and history of your Internet browser.

Skiver wrote a column for the back page of Popular Woodworking‘s December 2007 issue, and if I had my way, he would own that real estate in our magazine. He’s a funny guy, especially for someone in the automotive business, which is generally not fertile ground for anything hilarious (save the AMC Pacer and the Gremlin).

So with that caveat, I encourage you to add the blog “Skiving Off” to your list of woodworking blogs. And do post some comments on his blog so that he feels suitably adored.
