What made me laugh today...

Post by JacJacJacqui »

I was on the train this morning eavesdropping, as you do when people talk really loud. An older woman was obviously flirting with someone but she didn't seem to be getting much of a response so I had to turn around and ease my curiosity. The guy was as gay as they come! It was pretty funny.

On a serious note, I was on the train looking at some young blokes the other day and it occurred to me that it's really difficult to guess whether guys are straight or gay these days because of the way they dress. They wear women's skinny jeans and tight pastel coloured tops and jewellery. I mean, really. Are you trying to confuse us, or what?

What made me laugh - Hm.

I work in a hospital. yesterday i was sitting in a conference room on my own, working on the laptop, waiting to see if anyone else would show up to the meeting, when in walks a woman in her pyjamas and dressing gown.

My first thought was WTF? , geez someone was in a hurry to get to work today. As she walks closer she asks me my name. In sparkling repartee I replied "Huh?". She asked again as she got closer, by which time I twigged she was a psych patient who'd gone for a walk.

I told her my name, she asked me if I was related to the {my surname} hyphen unintelligible from Malta. i said I was pretty sure I wasn't.

She then showed me her patient band on the wrist, told me she didn't have to be in HDU anymore (which is a good thing). that she was Bi-Polar; so she was on a natural high and could be very entertaining. In more sparkling repartee, all I could respond with was "that's nice".

A little more and she says, "well, I better get going", and off she goes, leaving me sitting there totally stunned and fighting back bursting into laughter.

If she had been in the HDU, which is where they put the people temporarily who're are really off the planet until they reel them in a bit, then she's improved a hell of a lot. Still has a way to go to address her issues and i really hope she does, but wrong or not, I just found the whole thing bloody funny. Especially when she told me with a perfectly straight face that she could be very entertaining.

Perhaps I'm easily amused, but this made me laugh:

Mr J driving me to work today and a fellow driver cuts us off. Then the goose pulls up along side of us at the lights and stares at us, so i do the natural thing and wave, with all fingers not just one or two. Then he flips the bird at us. He was getting more aggitated as we were laughing by this time, cause he looked so childish. I then reconize his jumper belonging to the local footy team, who we were a major sponsor for quite a few years, so wound down the window and asked was he a footy player for this team, well he covers his jumper, but still continues to behave like a monkey. He then made a point of cutting us off every lane change along the expressway....... wasn't worrying us a bit, but I can imagine his start of the day.

Oh, and our Southern Expressway always makes me laugh. Goes 1 way. To the city of a morning, closes for 90 minutes at 12.30, then home from the city of an afternoon.

LOL.. I love road rage.. A friend of my brothers who drives a small truck had a funny road rage incident. The guy in the car in front of him got out to have a go and then tried to reach into the truck so my brothers mate dragged him in and belted the crap out of him. So the guy stole his keys and took off in his car to the police station. The police wanted to know how the guy got a boot print in his throat so my brothers mate said "I kicked him". And the cop, after some quiet reflection on this statement, asked "What? With your seat belt on"? "Yeah!!"

LOL.. We love that story, it's freaken hilarious..
