The Olympic closing ceremony was so funny that you really had to be there. On Twitter, that is.

Yes, the social networking site (copyright: BBC News) excelled itself when it came to funnies during Sunday night's Olympic farewell - and for that reason, there were far too many to gather together for this week's Twitter joke round-up.

But there are a couple - as well as tweets about train fares, Julian Assange and A-Level results. Followed by the usual collection of 140-character-or-fewer bon mots that we hope make you smile as much as they did us.
