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
