This blog generally deals with serious subjects and sometimes pokes fun at people that deserve it. The objective is to make others aware of the absurdity of people that take themselves and the power they covet too seriously. Sometimes I succeed, other times not so much. This is not to minimize the importance of the direction our country is taking just pointing out that these pinheads who feel destined to "lead" us don't have all the answers and we should take off our lemming suits before it is too late. It's a long way to the bottom of the cliff. Ask Wile E. Coyote!
At about 1:30 a.m. this morning I watched an episode of The Office that I would highly recommend. I have always been a big fan of this show but haven't watched it for a while because it goes up against CSI, which my wife likes. NBC has been hyping the Office Wedding episode for about a week so I decided that sitting in a motel room in Chatham, NY was as good a place as any to catch up. What was I going to do; sleep? This was the funniest show I have seen on TV in years! It is an hour long episode that incorporates all of the wedding nightmares you can imagine from the group of misfits in this ensemble cast. They manage to turn lemons into lemonade and it ends up a very special wedding indeed!
The point of this diatribe is that sometimes you just need a laugh. You may find it, like I did, during a sleepless time in front of your laptop. Other times you can get them at the expense of other people. I don't mean laughing at others misfortune but finding the humor in any situation, whether it is meant to be funny or not.
One observation on which I would invite comment is this: why do we laugh when we see some guy get hit in the groin? It is a staple of these home video shows and it seems like a sure thing if you are seeking a laugh. As a guy that has had the misfortune of getting such a gift I didn't see the humor in it! It hurt and once the stars cleared from my vision it hurt some more. Hey, but if that is how you get your laughs, so be it. I have other avenues.
