  • "That's not funny", but laughing anyway?

    Ever had one of those situations come up where you see/hear something, and you say (or think) "That's not funny", but you find yourself laughing anyway?

    That's happened to me several times.

    One particular instance: We went to our local library's "book sale" (they sell some of their older, used books for various prices, or a bag full for $5).

    Anyway, I found this "cartoon book" by a guy named John Callahan. Some of the humor is akin to "The Far Side".

    But one struck me as "that's not funny", but I found it hysterical at the same time.

    You know those movies/tv shows where someone has to go down to the morgue, and they pull out that long drawer and it's got a body on it under a sheet?

    Well, this cartoon was similar to that. Except the "person" was a chicken. And when the sheet was pulled back, the "body" was a bowl of hot chicken soup...

    It's probably funnier if you see the picture.

    I've had a few of those situations, yeah.

    And after laughing, I usually go, "I'm going to hell for that."

    If I'm the one MAKING the joke, I'll sometimes channel Larry The Cable Guy. "Lord, I apologize for that, there...."

          This. This should not be funny. But I laugh every damn time.

            Hubby and me, every morning on the paper route. The easily offended should probably not tag along with us on the routes.
