I’m sitting here at work, snickering because I have a really inappropriate sense of humor and a fairly vivid imagination.
You see, I’m reviewing potential venues to exhibit our service. I’m looking at some “Senior Fun Fests,” some of which market senior sports arenas. Having seen The Gladiator last night, I can’t seem to stop thinking of a poor guy in a walker in the middle of a large Roman arena, possibly preparing to throw a discus (yeah, I know the discus part is really Greek). Now, I know it’s inappropriate. And I’m fully aware it’s not funny at all. But I can’t stop laughing. It’s been a very, very long week despite the extended holidays (or maybe because of them).
This happens a little too often for my taste. I wish my brain would just shut up sometimes.
So, please tell me I’m not alone! What caused your moments of inappropriate laughter and hilarity?
I sometimes think my inner monologue is funnier than most people I know. It tend to run sarcastic, to mostly snarky, though…so unfortunately, I need to keep it to myself. So yeah, I crack myself up… (or spend most of our weekly staff meeting giggling behind my hand).
high-five If even half of what I though during a given day ever came out, I’d be fired on the spot. As it is, when 1 or 2 things slip out, laughter can disrupt work in 8 directions. As it is, I’ll occasionally Twitter 1-2 things a day on breaks just to share them. Since it was the end of 2010, I looked back at what I wrote this year. Darned if some of it wasn’t actually pretty funny (did I write that?). If I could manage to write even Half of that down I’d have a book in no time. Sometimes I kid myself that if I could find a group of people who ever specialized in one liners for entertainment, I’d find my dream job… but the truth is that those guys/gals are funny All the time, not just 2 or 3 times out of 5.
