While I was successfully standing back and managing not to get embroiled in someone else's stress, I amused myself by googling 'Not my Circus, Not my Monkeys'. And just as the person tried to involve me again, I came across this: It was so perfectly timed, I couldn't stop laughing. What's made you laugh today?

husband just told me a story about a couple who he has just repaired their car. When he did the quote the wife, told him that she had hit the garage door, she was proud of herself as she had fixed the damage and her husband hadn't noticed. Today while repairing the car, husband told him that although she had told him that the car was damaged at the supermarket, he knew that she had hit the garage door and the repair she had done on it wasn't that good!

i was so pleased to have slept through my partner's loud radio alarm. he came in to say goodbye, and i saw he was leaving 30 minutes early. turns out, he'd woken before his alarm desperate for a poo, and after that, he felt so energised he decided to go to work early!

One of those silly posts on FB - or rather someone's reaction to it.
2018 will bring you the first three words you see Comment was: Crabs, cock, and happiness. I’m going to have to be the most optimistic motherfucker in the world to stay happy after the first two things.
It's still cracking me up.
Then about two posts down, there's a huge debate about which car gives way to the other in the graphic supplied and someone's commented: Orange is required by the poor standards of Australian driving to roll through the stop sign, almost collide with Blue who has assumed wrongly that Orange would come to a complete stop. Meanwhile, both Blue and Orange are now blocking the road in all directions, engaging in road rage and blaming cyclists for holding them up.
That's also still cracking me up.
All the while trying not to Lol as I'm not alone in the share house tonight!

My 'oh so serious' daughter must have played this twenty times over while laughing hysterically. And I laughed at both the video and at her!

Every year I give my mother an engagement diary for her birthday. I write in all our birthdays and never write anything on her birthday.
But for the one I gave her in December 2016, for the year 2017, I decided to look up who was born on her birthday and I wrote in the name of someone famous just for laughs.
So on her birthday she calls me singing "Je ne regrette rien".
I am mystified.
Complete blank.
I had completely forgotten I done any of the above and that Edith Piaf was the famous person I'd written in.

leela, that Twitter account is where I go when I need a smile.
He has great positive videos. Good for when the news of the world seems to be mostly negative.

Watching Frances Ha last night - it made me laugh a few times. Often they were more wry chuckles than huge laughs.

Oh, and the conversation Clipper and I had about Adam Driver had us both laughing. I was saying how some stupid article online was going on about his shirtless scene in Star Wars and the first comment under it was along the lines of 'you idiots, haven't you ever seen Girls? He is naked all the time. Shirtless Adam Driver is nothing". For some reason this cracked us both up, particularly as once again he was topless in Frances Ha.

haha, knut!
leela, no! how odd... i'm due to restart my laptop soon, so maybe then it will show up.
behind our block of flats is a workplace where employees wash their work and person vehicles. last night we watched a very confused (and slightly spooked) employee trying to work out the noises and movements around him. from our vantage, it was pretty easy to spot 3 foxes running around the area. it sounded like two males were arguing over a vixen. i'm not mad keen on urban foxes, but it was still nice to see them.

I made a shopping list in my usually sloppy writing. I'd already gone to Target and was in the grocery store. Took it out. At the bottom was written "dick wash". And honestly for a moment I thought that's what it said. Well it was really dish washing liquid. But I'm still laughing. I needed this today.

Sprite - I don't see it either.
It's too early for me to find something to laugh at this morning - 5.54 and about to hit the road for my 4.5 hour drive.
Some might find that funny!

(I do, but I've never used it) It might be searchable, if you google Clint Falin miscalculation. The early results I got linked to twitter though.

A young guy was taking a golden retriever for a walk. Or I should say he was trying to take the dog for a walk. The dog was sprawled on a driveway and the look of frustration on the guy's face, the way he was pulling at the lead, and the couldn't give a damn vibe coming from the dog just made me crack up.

Girl complaining to her mom she was cold, wearing shredded jeans that looked like they were held together with 2 strings, open coat, cropped shirt, sneakers, no socks, no hat, no scarf, no gloves. I looked at mom, looked at girl, looked at mom, looked at girl, and started laughing hysterically.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer..
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses, and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your "blue W" if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? Do you have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money..
COSTELLO: That's right What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. At no extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on 'START'…….

Looking at the list of threads on the general board and seeing in strict descending order - 1. What's made you laugh today? 2. What's making you sad? 3. What's pissing you off today? Puts in mind the phrase, things are going from bad to worse.

Switzerland, land locked and mountainous, has banned boiling lobsters alive.
Because that's what you go to Switzerland for, their lobster.
