Just Thinking...

I remember the first comedy club I went to, I was about 13 and don't have a clue why they let me in... I was with my parents in Myrtle Beach I think.. We sat right in the front row, and the comedian was talking about his younger years and how he would just "F" everything he could! he was talking about a Buick and how he would "F" the gas tank and how crazy he was... Shortly after, he was going around the crowd asking people what they did.. He asks my dad, and my dad kind of chuckled and said, Buick! The comedian laughed and said thank you for building such a great car! lol we couldn't stop laughing the whole time.  I'm sure the comedian thought that my dad was being a smart ass but none the less it was very funny.

Any humor I have I got it from my dad, he would say the goofiest jokes that were so stupid but he would deliver it in such a way that you couldn't help but laugh.. Very few people can tell an absolute dumb joke and get a laugh.. An example of one: Did you know that a man who farts in church sits in his own pew? We (our family) has been saying that dumb joke since I can remember.. lol  Or his ongoing question about a thermos... "It keeps the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold, but... How do it know?"  Again, just saying it or even typing it I can't help but roll my eyes, and and think geeez so stupid! lol but, it worked for us.. It was our own little family joke. Like comparing ourselves to the Griswolds from the movie Vacation, we used to take vacations in usually a station wagon (with woodgrain donning the sides)  no flying for us! for many hours on end.  At the time, I remember hating them because my sister, conned both my sister and I into playing a "game" where she got to basically lay down in the back seat! she's a smart one... Looking back, those trips made us who we are today... whatever you want to label us as, we as a family have only been closer because of those trips. Thanks dad.  If I ever am blessed to have a family of my own, I plan to do the same thing.. Hopefully though, in an SUV instead of a station wagon with wood grain on the sides... lol 

Til' next time...
