I concur with Mr. Hsu! There is no better feeling than when you are just rounding off one of these gut-busting sessions of laughter at something silly. It’s great even when other people don’t get it, because then you have to try to choke out WHY you’re laughing and get them to see the humor… an enjoyable challenge. You feel relaxed, you feel uplifted, you feel at peace. And you’re smiling!
People’s Gas- hilarious. Giggled out loud.

I LOVE this post! And I absolutely love your pooptastic humor. I can’t wait to have more candid facebook back and forth conversations that make us both laugh like we’re in middle school again. One of my favorite things is to laugh at absolutely nothing until it becomes difficult to breathe while clutching my stomach, which is a trend of my best friend and I. It’s therapeutic like a good cry, only funnier.

For future reference: when you come across an ad in a magazine that is just annoying the bejeezus out of you, simply “fold” the page back onto itself and hope there’s nothing equally offensive on the other side. That’s my secret to surviving creepy fashion models in “Vogue” and “Vanity Fair”.

I snicker every month as I make out a check for the People’s Gas that fuels our stove and oven. I can’t believe there are people in this world who DON’T find that amusing. And whoever thought up that ad campaign deserves a raise.

Hahaha, you should laugh especially at the silliest things! Love it, such a good reminder that giggling keeps us young and happy. I love the Gmail prank on Darren. My favorite thing to do in college was change my newspaper coworkers’ computer wallpaper or default home page. Personal favorite: the John Stamos Fan Club Web site.

Thanks, Danielle! I’m glad the story was funny to someone besides me.

One note on the picture of the bus: Thanks to my friends Katie and Josh for standing out in the Chicago cold for 10 minutes while I got a good shot. They were glad that I found it amusing, because apparently some of their friends didn’t see what was so funny about it.
