When I’m out and about I write the funny things I hear and see in my little black notebook. Sometimes I don’t write enough, so the entries puzzle me. Help. Here’s an entry that sounds like the punch line to a hilarious story, but darned if I can remember the story. Do you know one that ends: “He ain’t dead yet”?
Sometimes I find things funny, laugh out loud and then realize maybe nobody else in the room is amused. Fox pox.
Example: Before my program, the group of retirees, many in their 80s and even 90s, held a short business meeting. Minutes were read. This line cracked me up, but I had to stifle, because nobody else was even cracking a smile. I quote: “The board agreed that saving of seats for late arrivals should be discouraged as it was causing some tension among members.”
I bet it was!
