What made us laugh earlier - brother in law posted on facebook this true story about his mother in law. She went into a cafe and noticed a sign for free biscuits, so she took one. When asked to pay for it, she told them they had sign which said they where free. Yep, they where free - Gluten free!
Her son, then reminded her of the time she went drive thru at KFC or McDonalds and purchased some $40 plus of food (back in the days when that was a mega amount). Paid and kept driving, to get home to discover she hadn't stopped to collect her order.

Someone on my way home had a skewbald pony tethered in their front yard. Cute.

Back in the day, pre credit cards, we went into McDonalds and ordered heaps of food for parents and two hungry kids, then realised that neither of us had any money, had forgotten to go to the bank. I had to stay as hostage for the food while husband went hunting for an ATM in a strange town.

I posted on the pissed off thread about my cousin buying a top with a racist slogan across the front.
My brother said he laughed his head off at my recent comment saying that my post was 'gold' and our cousin is an idiot.
Mother must have mentioned it to my father. Response: "That's my girl". Hehe.

Waiting in my car, early for an appointment, I saw a young woman walking strangely. I kept watching her and saw that she was wearing earbuds: she was dancing back and forth along the sidewalk, having a great time outdoors on a nice day. She kept going back and forth with different steps, twirls and jumps, occasionally looking out into the street, then danced briskly down the block to the bus stop, met the bus and boarded.

I wanted to post on Facebook “Dutton is very scary” about a horrible Australian politician. Autocorrect turned it into “Dubbo tomorrow is very scary”. As I’m in Dubbo overnight, this is a worry!

Dubbo didn't do anything scary, and I'm now safely home. Even managed to connect my phone to Bluetooth in the new car, to listen to my audiobook.

An overheard conversation while at the football grading. Good to know you aren't always alone in thinking certain things.

today my students did role plays, and at the end recorded a radio play, as if it were going out live. one group didn't really pay attention, so they recorded a version of their role play, meaning we heard the producer making comments and the actors arguing with her and the sound effects person.
i laughed so hard i cried, and was seriously worried that i might wet myself. they had a running gag of the female confusing the names of her husband and lover, and it just got snappier as they went on.
and of course when the students realised how hard i was laughing, they laughed harder too!

Living in a small outback country town. I took my own vehicle to work today, because there is no street parking in front of my house, and only one vehicle space in the yard, as I was expecting my cleaner. She didn't come, for the second week running, but the gardeners did. The van still needed to be out of the way! One of them has a son in my friend's high school class, and she came around to collect some paperwork. We all ended up standing in the middle of the road chatting. That is until I saw a road train heading our way. Meanwhile, as resident staff grandma, I am the goto person for stressed and bullied staff! I've been around long enough to stand up to the biggest staff bully. You have to laugh!

we viewed a house yesterday, and as the owner took us around, his daschund followed. (i thought they had kids, but no, that was a box of doggie toys.)
at one point when we'd been chatting for a while in the living room, we noticed the dog posed, sitting straight up with his front paws dangling in the air, begging. he remained like that, perfectly stable, for about 2 minutes until he realised there would be no treats. it looked like any second he would fall over, but didn't. now i almost want a daschund.

Reading this in a news article on the storms.
In West Yorkshire, the snow unexpectedly led police to discover a cannabis farm. Two officers found an estimated £80,000-worth of the drug at a property when they noticed that only one house in a street in Keighley had no snow on its roof.

What made me laugh today? Watching a scene from I Love Lucy. The Vitameatavegamin girl. Vitameatavegamin - Vitamins meat megetables and vinerals. Even after all this time, she is still far funnier than today's foul mouthed loud mouthed unfunny comedians.

just now, stephen hawking's speech synthesizer saying "Edith Piaf, Je ne regrette rien" in the worst american accent ever. (as in, i don't think any american alive would actually pronounce it as the synthesizer did.)

A bit late, but yesterday I met up with seven of my favourite ex-colleagues for a meal. After we had our own secret event for my retirement, they decided that we needed to make it a regular thing.
In the casual pub restaurant, we had the same large circular table we'd had before, so we could all share in conversation easily. And apologies to the other diners, because we were THAT group. Some of those friends are so naturally funny and such great story tellers, that I laughed so much, I thought I'd actually damaged my stomach at one point.
Happy, witty friends are worth their weight in gold.

I'm laughing as no doubt my children are. My husband is one of those baby boomer aged people who is very racist and bigoted about anything which he disagrees with. Posted some stuff on facebook I think about muslims and was banned. Currently can't use the chat feature for another 3 hours, he isn't happy but we are all laughing.
His rants can be rather over the top and a number of friends and family have blocked him, to which he will say he doesn't care, he has the right to voice an opinion.
