Nobody has ever accused Charlie Sheen of not being funny. (As for all other accusations, take your pick.) So it's no surprise that he's taking the lighter outlook on his Christmas Day in a Colorado jail cell after reportedly threatening his wife with a knife.

When the cast of Sheen's TV show Two And A Half Men, also starring Jon Cryer, reconvened this week, there was a certain tension in the air that had to be cleared, says RadarOnline.com.

"At a table reading ... one of the producers asked Jon Cryer what he did during the holidays. Everyone started to laugh because they could tell where this was going, a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively."

Yeah, you can see it too.

"Jon gave a quick answer and ... the producer moved on and said, "Charlie, what did YOU do for the holidays?"

Charlie's answer: "Well, I met Kobe Bryant's bail bondsman!" Laughter everywhere.

Classic.
