So …<\/p>\n

It’s really no great secret that I like to laugh.<\/p>\n

And I do it very well !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I got that “really enjoying a good laugh” gene from both my parents,<\/p>\n

Though I tend to exhibit “laughing my ass off” behavior in a manner more similar to my dad with …<\/p>\n

Mucho, mucho tears of laughter. \ud83d\ude42 (Once my dad was laughing so hard that a stranger thought he was having a heart attack.)<\/p>\n

Anyways,<\/p>\n

Today we congregated at a Cracker Barrel for our weekly family Sunday brunch …<\/p>\n

And I was listening to the adult comedy channel on my XM radio as I pulled into the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Jeff Foxworthy was on and doing a really funny bit about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich …
\n
\nSo I parked my car and remained seated while I listened to the rest of it.<\/p>\n

And while listening …<\/p>\n

I got the giggles …<\/p>\n

Really bad !!<\/p>\n

My eyes were quite watery …<\/p>\n

And I could tell there were some tear drops rolling down my face as his bit finished,<\/p>\n

But before I had a chance to recover,<\/p>\n

Another comedian started a routine making fun of John Madden !<\/p>\n

And it was phreaking hilarious !!!<\/p>\n

I lost it.<\/p>\n

There I was …<\/p>\n

Sitting my car,<\/p>\n

Holding myself I was laughing so hard,<\/p>\n

Shaking,<\/p>\n

Gasping to catch my breath,<\/p>\n

With tears just rolling all over my face !!<\/p>\n

Knock, knock, knock<\/i><\/p>\n

I opened my eyes to notice the tears blurring my sight.<\/p>\n

I wiped my eyes a bit and looked out my car window to see an older man standing in what appeared to be his “just got out of church” clothes,<\/p>\n

So I rolled downed my window.<\/p>\n

Are you okay, ma’am?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Yes,<\/i>” I said as the giggles started to resume, “I just heard something really funny on the radio, that’s all. Thanks though.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I had forgotten to put on my mascara before I left the house,<\/p>\n

So face recovery was fairly simple.<\/p>\n

Anyways …<\/p>\n

Since I enjoyed a really good laugh today,<\/p>\n

I want to try and share one with you.<\/p>\n

So go check out Skippy’s List<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s hilarious …<\/p>\n

Listing all sorts of silly things he’s been told NOT to do while serving in the U.S. Army !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

(Now granted, I’m sure there are some people who might be all pissy that a military man would actually did things to generate comments like these from his superiors … but to those folks … just loosen up !! \ud83d\ude42 Some of these things are funny … my top 10 favs are: 2, 29, 33 & 34, 48, 83, 95, 97, 115, 129, 130.)<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, yeah … I completely absconded with this link from Geoffrey<\/a>. I don’t think he’ll mind though, he’s nice to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
