If Something Made You Laugh Today, Please Share!
 

Amid all this mind-numbing drama and horror of the past week, I actually laughed out loud today when reading an article in the "Life" section of the Raleigh N&O. It was all about low-riding jeans (think Britney & Christina) and talking about how they're a new fad for EVERYBODY; said that The Gap and similar stores have come out with their own line - INCLUDING Lane Bryant for plus-size women!!! Just imagining myself (I'm a size 20) and a lot of my friends in this new fad cracked me up for the first time in days!!! What has made you laugh?

The irony that Gary Condit is now the happiest guy in America.

I've had a couple of laughs today via email, some from watching my dog play (big black Lab). But the 'low riding'jeans thing is not new. I remember in HS (back in the 50's) no less, where we bought men's Levi's, which were lower cut than our slacks/jeans, and then wore our Dad's shirts with the tails tied around our waist...didn't quite show our belly button, but we did have bare skin in the middle, much to the shock of our parents. Then in the 70's we had bell bottoms that 'rode' low. So some of *today's* fashions aren't all that new!

I'll share a personal laugh that I got today. My daughter recently bought a house, and she and her husband were a little worried about being accepted by the neighbors, as they are "arty" with tattoos, piercings, etc. But they have plunged in and started work on this slightly decrepit house they bought. <BR> <BR>Today, the next-door neighbor, an elderly woman originally from Ukraine, came over and informed my daughter that she had been "praying for you to come"! Apparently, she had been feuding with the former owner over his neglect of the property, and was delighted to have new young industrious neighbors, no matter what they looked like! One less bias to worry about, I guess!

There is so much hatred and nationlity bashing and religious bashing. I want to share this joke. <BR> <BR> a nun asked her students what they wanted to be when they grew up. <BR>A young girl said "I want to be a prostitute." "What!" the nun exclaimed."I want to be a prostitute" she repeated. "Oh my god, I thought you said you wanted to be a protestant!"

Sat 16 Sep 2001 Singapore Straits TImes report: <BR> <BR>In a dep lounge at Singapore Changi airport y'day, 2 indian guys were talking to an american fellow passenger. When asked what they did, the indians replied "bass guitarist". The american heard "bosnian terrorist" and reported them to security. They were help up for 2 hours,questioned by police and missed their flight to HK.They were later released and allowed to take the next flight out.

Got this last Wednesday; really needed some humor at the time. <BR> <BR>WWJD <BR> <BR>Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?" But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?" <BR> <BR>One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury." <BR> <BR>But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm." <BR> <BR>Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast." <BR> <BR>Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord." <BR> <BR>Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills." <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

American Woman, in Acts 2:1 it says that "they were all with one Accord". So I guess the Accord is the New Testament choice for transportation.

And Mary was a nag cuz she "rode Joseph's ass" all the way to Bethlehem.? <BR> <BR>Does Viagra come from "stem" cells? <BR> <BR>

qiu: You actually find that story amusing? I'm sure the "indian guys" didn't.

Diane - thank you for the "weiner dog races" site -it's wonderful! I've actually been chuckling at it for a while and have e-mailed it to a couple of people.

Yes, just now...we are renting a duplex that's on the 9th hole of a golf course, so get to watch the golfer's. Just now a man, alone, approached his ball and chipped it on to the green, barely. Then he looked all around, and down the fareway, looked some more and then pulled out another ball from his pocket, dropped it and chipped again, getting this ball a little further from the hole. He went to the first ball, putted towards the hole, it fell short, and he tipped it in. Then he went to the other ball and putted that one, but it came no where near the hole, so he picked it up, went to the cart, and took off for the club house, as though nothing was out of the ordinary. If he hadn't done all the searching to check if someone was looking, we probably wouldn't have laughed so hard.

my favorite - and make sure your computer has sound!http://www.dancinghamsters.com/ <BR>

Okay, d, I am on the floor looking at the hampsters. I love that song ... but now I cannot get it out of my head. What do I do now? Ciao

My 3 yr. old daughter was singing the Lee Greenwood song, God Bless the U.S.A., only she was singing the New S.A. (something prophetic there?) She was also singing America the Beautiful. This was her version: Omerica, Omerica, up on the milkyway... The tunes were right on, but with her own version of the lyrics-too cute. Gave us a much needed laugh. <BR> <BR>

OK... I won't let this thread slip down any further, so here it goes. (Disclaimer: Humor writing is not my forte, unlike others. Melissa, where are you?) <BR> <BR>At our household, our golden retriever 8 month old puppy Rambo-Nui is always good for a laugh. I could go on and on about Rambo-Nui, but I'll spare you. Dog humor is always good, and our kids are most appreciative of this kind of humor. <BR>And then there's teenage boy humor, which is unique, and maybe some of you know of what I write. I won't go there here though, sparing you again. <BR> <BR>But my laugh of the day for today was when a brilliant and fairly ample co-worker mentioned that there were "no lines at Todai today". We had been talking about how all of a sudden the Hawaii visitor count is down by maybe 80%. Somehow that was silly funny and poignant at the same time. But we held on to the funny. <BR> <BR>So altough we didn't quite make it to Todai today, we will be going there real soon, if maybe not quite tomorrow. <BR> <BR>Take care all, k

BTW, Todai is an all-you can eat buffet that usually has a two hour wait for s table. I have yet to eat there.

I posted a list of great one-liners by Groucho Marx. Fodor's pulled the post! I guess 'cause i cut and pasted? (Copyrighted material?) <BR> <BR>Sorry Groucho! <BR>P.S. Couldn't resist sharing my favorite (Fodor editor take note:): <BR>"Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others." <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Joan: DAMN!!!! Yours was the only one that made me laugh - I LOVE Groucho - should have printed it when I had the chance. What is going ON with Fodors? Now we can't read Groucho Marx???!!!???
