One of the best uses of Twitter, beyond it being a news source, marketing tool and engagement agent, is its guarantee of humor.

Browse through your Twitter stream for a few minutes and you’re bound to read at least one tweet that makes you laugh. (And if not: follow some of the people we feature below.)

As has been widely acknowledged, humor is healthy. So we’re doing our part to lower your blood pressure and strengthen your heart by presenting a new feature on AllTwitter: Twitticisms.

Twitticisms will present, right here on AllTwitter, a weekly short list of funny tweets, both popular and not, by both A-listers and no-namers.

The new Twitticisms series is for a) your amusement and b) demonstration of the ability to make 140 character one-liners an artform.

Here’s our first roundup – let us know what you think in the comments.
