(a) What is: funny?  

(b) How to write in: a funny-way?  

Bro … good questions … See - we’re makin progress already …

Before we delve into these …  kernels of truth … First Rule: 

Don’t be mentioning THE C-word.           &/Or:   THE V-word

Bat Lady  … & … Batman:  cook up a: Super Bat Virus … in:   

THE Bat Lab  - using real nicknames they’d already given themselves …
