Laughing

What makes you laugh the hardest?

I love to laugh. It keeps the doctor away and the wrinkles at bay. It's very easy to tickle Helly's funny bone, and some even shake their heads in sadness by how simple it is to amuse me.

What makes me laugh the hardest? People, of course. A variety of people with whom I interact in a variety of ways.

There's my son, Todd, who just turned 3. The jollies started when he began talking and forming whole sentences. The lawyer-like loopholes and logic that spew from his mouth are enough to send the whole family rolling. Not to mention the crazy antics like head-bashing his stuffed frog (see my YouTube page for the video if you're interested), and just generally running about, shrieking with delight as most toddlers do.

Then there are my friends, most of whom I've met here on Grab. There's nothing quite like suppressing my laughter at a hilarious board post or blog comment because I'm reading it at work and would sound like a complete nutcase, bursting out with laughter, all alone in my cubicle. Ah, the fond memories of blog/board parties and just general mischief and silliness ;-)

My sense of humor in general tends to run along the wry, sarcastic lines. While I find most jokes, stand-up comedians, and comedy movies funny, I often don't find true hilarity in anything but a good zinger of a comeback or a dry and witty observation. Which is why I remarked that people are the ones make me laugh hardest and best :-)

Haha, I like that notion! All the more reason to laugh a little more in this world :-)

Come work at Martin's with me for one day. You'd laugh at so many idiot customer antics that you'd probably break down having seisures or something and we'd have to hospitalize you! ;~)

Oh, I wish I could somehow sneak a video camera in there, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when the full-on idiots are out in force. Good times.

Sneak some video with your digital camera ;-)

I will give it a try, but the thing just won't take long range videos. The video function doesn't zoom, so you might not be able to see the good stuff! I'd better get my camera charged up---vids of customers, cats, more video blogs being requested..aye aye aye cap'n! ;~)

True, true... maybe you can capture some interesting sound clips, at least? ;-) That alone would be worth it :-D Put voices to the strange things customers say, that we read about all the time in your blog ;-D

Hmmm... another bio section! Let's see... what could I possibly say that's new/different from stuff you could read in my profile?

Well, I'm a happy Grabber who became addicted to blogging as soon as Grab blogs came out. I hope you enjoy my musings, boring stories of my life, memes and random quiz results :-)

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
