Need a good laugh...

[doodle]

I''ve had two relatives pass away in the past two weeks, and today makes number three, and my DH is stuck at work until who knows when, so I need a pick-me-up. I should also add that my stove blew up this week, so I can''t go my usual cheer myself up route and bake brownies.

Anyone have anything particularly funny happen today (or ever. I''m not choosy) and wanna amuse me?

Aw that sucks. Hmmm I have a story that was hilarious to me, my friend and my sister, but it might not be funny to someone else. But I''ll share!

I work in research and down the hall from my new office are a completely different type of researchers-more scientific and basically stereotypical scientists-socially awkward and nerdy. (No offense to all the scientists here on PS!

) But there''s actually one hot scientist who works down the hall and I pass his office a couple of times a day. There''s a name on the door to the office he''s always in so I assumed that was him.

So I told my twin sister I wanted to hook her up with the hot scientist because he seems nice and friendly and well, he''s hot. I told her his name and said she should search for him on my employer''s website because there are typically photos of the professors online. So I searched his name, too, and the picture popped up. The photo was of a middle aged man with a super thick 70s mustache and weird center parted hair that mirrored the curve of his giant mustache perfectly. I mean he looked like a cartoon nerd scientist. AMAZING. And totally the opposite of the hot scientist. Clearly the name on the office was NOT hot scientist''s name. He''s probably a PhD student who works under the professor.

I couldn''t stop laughing so my friend/office mate had to see what I was laughing about and when I told her she just about died laughing, too. And that''s my story!

Hope it gave you at least a tiny chuckle...and I hope things look up for you soon!

And in case that wasn''t funny, my favorite joke:

What did the one cannibal say to the other cannibal while eating a clown?

Does this taste funny to you?

LOL at the hot scientist! That reminds me of a story I heard from my husband''s two best friends. They had to go to a lecture once given by some big shot with a computer program they use, and the lecturer was a dead ringer for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew of the Muppets. So about halfway through the lecture, M leans over to G and goes, "Meep Meep Meep" like Beaker, and G completely loses his composure in the middle of this snooty lecture (I''m sure the lecturer was thrilled, haha). To this day, if you meep at G, he laughs until he can''t breathe!

Thanks for the story, Thing. I needed a good laugh!

Maevie, I hear ya! I took a Shakespeare class in college with two of my best friends and a roommate, and the four of us sat together the whole semester. THAT POOR PROFESSOR!!! We had a contest in the middle of class once to see who could rock their chair the fastest--in the middle of lecture. While pretending to paddle boats, also as fast as we could. I can''t imagine why the professor didn''t think this was funny in the middle of lecture. Man, we were idiots!

Alright... here''s a joke that got my mom and I laughing so hard. But maybe we''re just strange.

Where does the king keep his armies"

Someone sent this to me, I thought it was chuckle-worthy........

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.' They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

So I had a pretty bad day at work - just stressful, generally horrible.

So I decided that I needed to go treat myself and have a little bit of fun at the mall. I went to Victoria''s Secret, got a new shirt (on sale!), and decided to go get my eyebrows waxed. I have a party to go to on Saturday and I thought it''d be nice to look a little tidied up. They were just starting to grow back, so I could have plucked them, but I wanted to spoil myself.

So I go in the back room, lay down, and the lady waxes my eyebrows (with the usual comment about "Are you sure you don''t want a lip wax?" Yeah, I''m sure, thanks for pointing out that I look like a man), and I feel wonderful. She passes me the mirror, and I look right in the eyes of a confused, angry muppet.

So much for unwinding.
