Its been nearly 2 years since Apple launched the App Store. In that time, would-be comedians around the Internet have successfully extracted just two<\/em> jokes from it. “Fart apps and tip calculators!” Hah! “There’s an app for that!” Hah hah. Hah. Hah<\/em>. Little did we know, there was still one untapped source of hilarity involving the app store left: physical humor.<\/em><\/p>\n
