I'm going to hell for laughing

The situation- I’m in the food court at the local mall, minding my nachos. (mmmmm, nachos!) A grandfather and a little grandkid come by, and the grandkid sees something that catches his eye. He starts to run. He gets about two steps and grandpa says, “Hey, hey, no running.” The grandkid stop and looks at grandpa, who continues, “You run, you’ll fall over and hurt yourself.”
-Just- at that moment, another little kid goes tearing by the pair, and trips, skidding across the floor into a small heap. There’s a moment’s pause, and the grandfather says, “Just like that.”

I couldn’t help it. I started laughing so hard I thought I was gonna spit-take guacamole!

you’ll have plenty of company, then.

i’d probably be rolling on the floor right beside you.

Me too.

Did the grandfather or grandkid notice your laughing?

Are you sure Grandpa didn’t trip the other kid?

Sly old bastard…

Serves the whippersnapper right.

Kids these days!

:: shakes fist ::

I’d be laughing, too. Perfect timing.

I guess hell is going to be pretty crowded. I just got back from the mall and got the evil eye from a small childs mom. This little brat was running around and ended up knocking some bags out of a little old ladies hand. I laughed hysterically after watching this small child run straight into a clear glass door after I helped her pick up her items. Karma gets you everytime.

Looks like we’re all going to hell.

Should be fun with so many Dopers down there :slight_smile:

Sign up here for the 2004 Lake of Eternal Torment Dopefest!

Is the etiquette at the Lake of Eternal Torment Dopefest different from normal dopefests regarding the use of screen names versus real names? I just ask because at least part of the point of using screen names at dope fests would be privacy, it seems to me - but does that really matter when we’re all screaming in agonizing agony and pain? :slight_smile:

Oh, and will Cecil be there? I’d really like to meet him. How about the mods?

Are you insinuating that Cecil, The Perfect Master, is going to the Bad Place? No–cecil will spend eternity at the right hand of G*d, telling Him everything He’s done wrong over the eons and how to fix it.
The mods, however, are headed sraight down there.
