Life is a booger.
No, not literally but it has it’s moments when you just wanna blow and start the day over. There are dozens of such moments where you wish your life had a pause and rewind button. I do. My luck though and they would both be broke.
Most of my moments come when certain social faux pas’s come into play. Fashion ones too. Not that I have issues hob-nobbing with the well to do at the Country Club, although my Ford pick-up might stand out in a sea of Lexus’s and Cadillacs.
I even try to remember to wash it before I show up, albeit washing ones truck while wearing a tux does result in a few curious looks.
If I showed up at Bubba’s Feed and Seed Emporium wearing that, I would get more than a few strange looks.
I also have to remember other things too. Everyone does not have my weird and warped sense of humor. One does not mention,talk about or think certain things in certain places. Something’s are just off-limits most of the time and usually I have no problem with such and for the most part can restrain myself.
Usually that is.
However… When you are standing a the back of a funeral home; during a sober and moving service with the director, who happens to be able to tell a joke with a straight face and your sense of humor is as weird as mine is; usually just won’t work. I was crying right along with the other mourners, I’m sad to say. Yet mention the words “Viagra” and “overdose” and I will still chuckle to this day.
Of course, I give as good as I get. I have a friend who’s funny bone is as almost as warped as mine. I caught her in a so-so mood one time and so I passed along a trick that makes me giggle and smile on occasion. I told her if she ever had to deal with a moody or obnoxious person, to just imagine them wearing nothing but a neon-green tutu and a Pepto Bismol pink bowtie.
That’s it.
I later called her and told her the name of a rather portly person we both know and said to imagine that outfit on that person. She snorted…. Five minutes later I hung up with her still cackling. I knew I had accomplished my mission.
They say Laugh and the world laughs with you…
Yeah, right.
There’s a Deputy Sheriff in Texas that will disagree with that fact. The man has no sense of humor at all. Even when I told him about seeing his supervisor in a tutu. How was I to know his supervisor was his Daddy?
$556.00 dollars later and two points on my license… but I digress.
Said all that to say this. While it’s true that Life can be rough, it’s also true that it is way to short to be serious all the time. So share a laugh with a friend today. Find something funny to chuckle about. Make a good memory; one that you can cherish forever.
