A Cappella Group Has No Comedic Timing

After a vicious knife attack sent a University of Colorado freshman to the hospital with a slashed neck, a campus acappella group decided to make light of the event, according to the Campus Press. On an audition questionnaire, the group wrote:

The recent stabbing on campus leaves you feeling:

A. Confused

B. Dazed and confused

C. Mad someone got that guy before you did

The joke was lost on almost everybody, and the group (the appropriately named Buffoons) issued a formal apology. —Alison Go
