I must admit I've been looking around my life to see what I laugh at. There's not much. And with my cough triggered usually by a laugh, I tend to do a hee hee hee instead. But I did experience some fun the other day at the Rehab program.
We were having our photos taken, one at a time, and apparently G. walked behind me while I was posing. She was called out as photo-bombing me. Then I sat down and the rest of the group took their turns. Then I was called out as photo-bombing everyone else, since my seat in the waiting room was in the line of sight of each of the photos being taken. What? Yes, I had sat right by the doorway. But I was there before he started the photos. So it was a typical incident of being in the wrong place at the right time.
And the rest of the day, I was either pointing at G. and calling her the "photo-bomber" or she was pointing at me in the same vein. At least we knew we were laughing then. Wearing masks continually made it a bit hard to know when anyone smiled at each other. But everyone in the group did have a chuckle.
And now I've already become one of the class clowns! Oh my, what a reputation to live up to. It's all about my anxiety though. Which is what we often use humor for...dealing with the situations that are hard to face.
What do you think as funny these days?

Conway was one slapstick type of guy who was funny. I am not sure how hard I laughed, but I did see the humour.
ReplyDeleteI think the comedians who do physical humor were very funny...but those who just do stand-up can also be good, though I'm not a comedy club person (can't stay up that late.)
Delete...some humor never seemed humorous to me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely true for each of us!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI read a quote "If laughter is the best medicine, laughing at oneself should be a wonder pill." The old comedians were funny about silly stuff, today they are making fun of people, like our president. Take care,stay safe! Have a great day!
Yes, the slams at people, or other ideas than the audience's - leave me cold.
DeleteThat's a good question, what's funny these days? Mmmm. I'm not sure I know. Maybe I'll ask google. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tom and Eileen. There's not much to laugh at these days. Making fun of people is sad if you're looking for a laugh.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy word humor--even puns. Or contradictory stuff like the notice that says PRIVATE SIGN--DO NOT READ. I want one of those to post along our driveway.
