LOL.

Love it or loathe it, the acronym for "laugh out loud" has become as accepted an expression as "hi" and "bye".

But how often do we actually literally laugh out loud?

These are some of the written communications I've spotted recently that did cause me to audibly splutter with laughter.

The front page of today's Herald Sun.

I actually did a double-take when I saw this, thinking "They didn't. Oh my. They did!" Then burst out laughing.

And, unbelievably I know, willingly parted with my money to buy it.

I don't care which way your political sympathies lie, you've got to admit it's damn brilliant to live in a country where one of the nation's biggest newspapers can blow a big fat raspberry at the new Prime Minister and not get hauled off to face a firing squad.

I could never have imagined myself saying these words about a Herald Sun headline, but I'd love to shake Simon Pristel's hand.

Hilarious.

Not if they were free.

Just kidding. I do like kids.

No, really.

This on one of those backpacker vans.

We spotted this in an underground carpark and I laughed so much, I made Mr K reverse the car so I could go back and take a picture.

I don't know why, but this just makes me think of my brothers. Or boys in general.

Words to live by.

Ahh, I laughed.

I don't know what my humour reveals about me. Nothing good, I'm sure
