The Funniest Thing Ever was witnessed February 19, 2001, by Amanda Watson of Beaver Creek, Pennsylvania. Amanda was walking to school with her friend Trista when, across the street, they saw a student renowned for her prissy personal grooming picking her nose. Amanda immediately burst into a fit of laughter and thereby decreed what she had just witnessed to be the Funniest Thing Ever. This set into motion the legal process of this event becoming the Funniest Thing Ever.
