Even so, none could match the belly laughs when the NSA delivered the following with a straight face:
Statement on planned Fourth of July demonstrations
3 July 2013
The Fourth of July reminds us as Americans of the freedoms and rights all citizens of our country are guaranteed by our Constitution. Among those is freedom of speech, often exercised in protests of various kinds. NSA does not object to any lawful, peaceful protest. NSA and its employees work diligently and lawfully every day, around the clock, to protect the nation and its people.
They don't object to any lawful, peaceful protest?
Oh, how they kid, what a bunch of cut-ups.
