So, at work last night somebody looks over and says, "Hey Gunny, what are you smiling about?"
"Nothing."
"You were smirking. What's up?"
"I was just thinking about a joke I heard the other day. Q: You know what they say about men with big shoes don't you? A: Well, I can pretty much tell you it ain't true."
Then I proceeded to explain that sometimes the dumbest things like that will keep me smiling for hours. Sometimes I retreat into my own little world because it's so darn amusing. Does that make me crazy?
Probably.
The funniest thing I have ever heard was when I worked at Taco Bell and a friend and I were talking about haunted houses. "They've even got one in Woodbury," he informed me. "They just walk you through a barn and say things like 'This sheep's cooter's got teeth!' "
I burst out laughing at "This sheep's cooter's got teeth." It was the hardest thirty seconds of laughter I can remember. I abruptly stopped and asked him what a cooter was. I laughed the because cooter is a pretty funny word. He explained it to me, and suddenly Dukes of Hazard became much funnier. He had never thought of that before, and we both had a good laugh.
It's been over ten years and I still smile thinking about it. Anytime I need a good laugh, I remember it. I try to explain it to others, but they just don't find it that funny. I guess I've watched too much British comedy or something.
