paperback writer said something about liking people who can make her laugh, that's what triggered this thought, so blame her!
for years now i've said that my sense of humor exists for me and my amusement only. if someone else is around and gets the joke, that's awesome. if they don't? i REALLY don't care, i'm still going to crack myself up. now of course that's not 100% true. the people i consider my friends are of course people with whom i share some common interests that we bonded over. so hopefully they get me and get my sense of humor. but there are plenty of days when i'm crying because i'm laughing so hard and everyone is just staring at me, shaking their heads, waiting for the moment to pass so we can get back to the business at hand.
i love the addams family movies, especially the second one. there's a scene in it where wednesday and pugsley are at camp and there's a girl there who is the exact opposite of wednesday. they're practicing water skills at the lake and the instructors need someone to be the victim. the perky girl volunters "i'll be the victim!" and wednesday mutters "all of your life". preparing for this deployment there are of course multiple scenarios where someone has to pretend to be the victim of a gunshot wound, or an i.e.d. or just basic first aid stuff, a choking or burn victim. everytime someone volunteers i have to chime in... it's been 15 months and no one has gotten the reference yet, but it's still funny to me...

You need to meet my husband. He is constantly cracking himself up. He especially loves to crack bad puns. I mean, really, really bad puns.
That's hilarious.
Yes, my sense of humor is also so, so wrong, and most of the time, no one gets it but me. However, that matters not at all.
On my wall, one of my favorite quotes:
"Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves fro we shall never cease to be amused."
True, true. Though, sometimes, I'm laughing WITH myself, not at myself.
You have a great sense of humor...they just don't appreciate it!
That Wednesday Adams quote has been banned from my parents house. Permanently.
I just watched it AGAIN the other day much to Todd's shagrin. Srew um!
"I'm a turkey... kill me!"
