I really liked this one.  Really funny stuff, although one shouldn't
write "lego" when one means "LEGO brand building bricks", as the
illustration suggests!  ;-)

It's also funny in the pretext of some AFOL's around here having a large
ego!  (No offense, anyone.)

There's a problem with the caption though...

It should read

   "Nichoas had ots of ego to buid things with"
