Saw this on B3ta front page this morning and thought it was hillarious, shown it to three people so far and nothing but head scratching... am I the only one that find this funny?

I get it, but can't say I find it particularly funny.

For those that don't get it the sign says "refuse tip" so the driver refused the tip. :p

That aint the joke - the idea is that DB is a smooth psychological illusionist, and is poised to show us his latest trickery...

However, his latest piece of smoothness is in fact a very innapropriate and simple ploy that anyone could manage. The humour is compounded by the fact that he is rather smug about his ploy, despite having only managed to blag himself a trip to the rubbish dump for an amount of cash that anyone would have to pay

Whats even more hilarious is that Derren is pulling those mystical faces and hand positions in every square he is in...

I think we already decided that it's not very funny - most people either don't get it, or just think it's a bit rubbish.

What's the point behind this thread, then? Come on, out with it, psychology boy.

Um... everyone who thinks its not funny is Officially Gay from this point on?

That was sarcasm BTW. The actual purpose of the thread was that I wanted to know whether people thought it funny or not, becasue it had me in stitches yet it seems not for others. No subliminal messages, no hidden suggestions or psychometric benchmarking. No grand social experiment. Disappointed?
