Laugh ‘n’ Gas

~ Gottfried

Laughter they say is the best medicine, I’d like to disagree, ecstasy pills put in a pretty good shift. It’s always good to hear people laugh at your jokes though. That is, till they laugh so much they start crying now you don’t know if you should continue talking or hand them a tissue.

Some people laugh so much they fart in the process. I don’t have any problem with this. Matter of fact it’s mildly amusing. Where I do have a problem is when these people blame the farts on the laughter. No sweetie, you already had the farts stored up, the laughter was only the trigger.

You ever been with someone that laughs so much that you start laughing too? Easily my best kind of people. Like why are you constantly amused? What is so funny? Why am I laughing at the way you’re laughing? Better yet, why is your laugh making my laugh to laugh?

When a person you don’t like cracks a joke and everyone laughs. In your defense, as you struggle to keep your face muscles in check, there is beef. This one time, a guy I was beefing cracked a joke and I’m struggling not to laugh but it was creeping up on me. So I laugh(loud and throaty) and remind him afterward that as good as the joke was, the cold war remains. Commitment

For some, laughter is a coping mechanism. To laugh at life’s ridiculous turn of events makes those events bearable. You ever be in a fix so bad you start laughing? The teacher hands you your script. You can tell it’s bad cause he’s folding a corner of the paper. You open it just for confirmation and let out a chuckle. What do you say to zero over twenty? And your overzealous teacher took out time to draw a face in the zero, with ears and everything.

I know I got zero, but have you seen the look on the zero? It’s smiling!

Ladies, listen up! Imma let you in on a little secret. Funny guys are dangerous. You laugh and laugh and boom! you’re in a committed relationship. Here comes the part. Isn’t it great that ladies swear that all they want is a sweet guy that makes them laugh and also doesn’t take things too seriously? But the breakup story usually sounds along these lines…

“Gottfried, you never take me seriously?”

“Honey, that’s exactly what I advertised”

I’ll have you know that there is a thin line between sanity and insanity. As you laugh, you’re flirting along that line, any wrong move and boom, a nut goes loose. If you’ve seen the Joker, you know how this ends. Here’s a pro tip on laughter from yours truly.

If you’re going to try, go all the way

  1. They say that laughter is contagious, which is probably true, but did you know that, for example only men can laugh properly, while women can´t (it has to do something with Adam´s apple, or laryngeal prominence in medical terms, which is not so expressed like in men, which is one of the reason why men´s laugh is so deep, while women only produce sounds that are similar to laughing, but in reality they are not)…

      3. It happened at the dinner table. Someone brought up the topic of beef tongue sandwiches. I said that I didn’t like the thought of tasting something that was tasting me back. Then a pea flew out my mother’s nose.

  3. Bunkessa told me about what happened one day in chemistry class.
    She was having a tough time holding in some gas, so she decided to create a distraction to hide the sound, and slowly slid her books off her desk. They hit the floor with a bang, everyone turned to see what happened, and then she farted.

  5. Hey! so many Comments, You hit the Nail On the Head! Even my friend LWBUT made a Comment! I think the subject was JOY here? am I wrong? Joy is something I am feeling Right Now, along with Gratitude, for the life I am Gifted with. I could just as easily have my Heart Stop Beating, and what would that be Like? Either I wind UP^ in Paradise, or no-where’s village, where no-one bother’s to meet their neighbors, Where all are Strangers, and Children starve to death, because the men are all off fighting insane wars, and only come home, to keep their wives Pregnant. Another Warrior Born, unless it is a worthless girl, unless I desire Sex…..True JOY comes when I treat all Men, Women, and Children as equals, therefore when one has less than I, I share it out, until all men are equals! That is JOY!

          1. Brother, I have fasted now for almost forty days and forty nights, just to see if I could follow in Jesus foot-steps, it is a hard road to follow, I do not know if I would go, willingly to that Cross, even after all of this, I can feel the nails going through my hands and feet, I can feel the sacrifice that must be made, but yet I wonder, after two thousand years of hanging on that cross, might it be better if we freed him from that cross, and sent him on his way, would we be the better for it?

          3. What is not for YOU to say? Are you reluctant to engage in simple conversation? I do not care for those “Emoji’s” they mean nothing to me, do not send them to me! Speak your mind, or forever wish you had. Spoken out to me!

          1. Do you read my “Gospel’s” ? Do I make any Sense to you? I write the story of my life, for you to read, I do not want or desire money for it, I would enjoy if it was read, that is all I have to gift……

  7. Today is my middle Swiss grandson’s birthday. He’s 26. He is a crack-up! Makes me laugh all the time. He would love your blog. Better yet, he’d love having a chance to exchange sarcastic banter with you. He’d have met his match! I hope he takes my recommendation and logs in to see this post. I know he’ll love it. I did!
