I follow 227 people on Twitter. That number fluctuates as I experiment with finding the ideal balance. Some people I follow because I know them in the real world, some people I follow because they're subject matter experts in subjects I care about, some people I follow because they're like-minded and some people I follow because they're funny.
Here are five funny people I follow on Twitter. You might want to give them a shot.
@SarahKSilverman is Sarah Silverman

This Strasburg news is God's little reminder of what would have happened if the Leafs had drafted Seguin.
That last guy is the only person on this list I've actually met in the real world (seeing Conan live isn't meeting him) and he might be the funniest of the bunch.
