Folks, we have done it again.

August was another strong month on Twitter. Users truly outdid themselves with their entertaining quips, covering topics such as The Olympics, The Leaving Cert, bananas and The Rose of Tralee. On more than one occasion, I forwarded various tweets to my friends with the caption 'OMG SCREAMING', while still maintaining a blank expression. Here's 24 of the funniest tweets you might've scrolled past this month.
