what's funny?

In my ever-growing attempt to make this project worthwhile, I often pick up tidbits of other peoples thoughts on things I've written. Let's at least all agree to put my grammar issues, (no lie, I just ran spell-check and the word "grammer" was mis-spelled, I corrected it) mis-spelled words, and general overall usage of the English language aside. I skipped those days at school.

Fans of the book Poetry for Beginners 101, may have enjoyed themselves a little more than supporters of The Far Side in recent weeks. I suppose that raises the question, what's funny? Surely trying to be funny isn't funny. Can anyone always be funny? Of course not. Is anyone universally funny? No way. We live in a world where the majority of people think the American Office is funnier than the original British version. (I know what you're thinking class, and that's my point!)

Opinions!

Yes,..look slightly North as we converse and notice the keyword in my site name, I'll give you a hint, it starts with an "O".

This project started out as nothing more than a hobby for someone who thought they had a little too much free time on their hands. I wanted "something else" to do in '08, and learning Spanish came in a close 2nd. This is free, and allows me to pass a few minutes before my work day gets going.

"But Jesse, why the reminder? Is someone hating on you?

No, but it never hurts to remind people of the purpose of something. We are all one big loving family around here.

All that said, is the fact that I think the soap at work smells worse than the turd I may have just laid funny?

Seriously, this soap makes me want to vomit, I would rather smell,..well,...we'll just leave it. I think that's funny though. Here are a few things for you all to think about this weekend. The following things will never cease to be funny to me. No matter how old I get, how much money I make, what my job is, how good looking I am, or how ugly I am. I will always laugh at the following:

1. Farting- Plain and simple. I think it's a great noise. It can always be different, and surprise you.
(come on, now we're getting literary)
2. People falling- Don't get me wrong, as long as they don't seriously hurt themselves. It's very enjoyable watching people fall, trip or stumble, then look around to see if anyone saw them.
3. Seeing people singing in their cars- In your mind, you always imagine them having the worst voice ever. There is no way that mess sounds good. Why else would they be singing where no one else can hear them?

There's a few, more some other time. Don't worry still cranking out some poems. I'll bring the mood back down to a depressing low sometime this weekend. I love you all!

Here is something that Angela will always think is funny: "I believe the children are the fruit-ure". Try it out sometime. It's guaranteed.
