Todays laugh...

Posted on Apr 13th, 2008 by HeyOK : Bridgebuilder HeyOK
Three old mischevious Grandmas were sitiing on a bench outside a nursing home.

An old Grandpa walked by and one of the yelled out, "We bet we can tell you exactly how old you are."

The old man said, "There ain't no way you can guess it you old fools."

One of the Grandmas said, "Sure we can!  Just drop your pants and undies and we can tell your exact age."

A little embarrassed yet anxious to prove they couldn't do it he dropped slacks.  The Grandmas asked him to turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times.  Then they all piped in together and said, "You're 87 years old!"

Standing with his pants around his ankles he asked, "How in the world did you guess?"

Slapping their knees and grinning ear to ear they yelled in unison --- "We were at your Birthday party yesterday."

Just one more reason that I feel the need to donate to whichever organization is working on dementia, memory loss, and alzheimers. 'Cuz I'll be the one dropping my bloomers for the Grandpas who are showing off their good memories!

Smiles!

OMG…
How laughter quenches something?  Itches an itch?  In that split second of timelessness before the intake of breath and the gut level ripple… where mind and body connect in an; I can't help it that's funny laugh.  It's wrong/sad/horrible even/reflects on me/reflects on you — it's real.
Like the split second when someone falls on the ice or trips (one of my oldest gags - the prat fall - (there's a story there if anyone wants to hear)… anyway.

I think this joke realizes the other and the me.  The other IN me.
And that leaps me here.  Not such a great leap when your laughing and smiling.

Thanks to all the above for doing that!  Let's keep doing that!
Huge thanks and blessings, David

I want to hear the prat fall story! {{giggle}} I just fell over a little red and white checkered foot stool in the living room and I wish that I could have had a video of that to put on YouTube!

The footstool was in a bad mood after I upended it and my David had the good graces not to burst out laughing but it must have been the funniest thing in the world to see! If I had lowered my head a bit I would have been sporting carpet burns on my nose and chin!

I'm off to check out the highlighted HERE in your above comment! LOL

Pratt falls…  I love em.  I can take a full face dive on purpose for a laugh.  Always said it was a cover for when I really tripped so no one would know if I was clumsy or joking.  This is best done with snow or grass to break the landing - people are usually so suprised they don't notice you broke your landing so then I laugh at there reaction.   My favorite though is kicking the heel of one foot with the toe of the other… in my field people are super vigilant for people (usually our clients) falling and injuring themselves so just the sound of interrupted footsteps usually gets an immediate reaction from whatever staff desk I'm approaching.  We call a fall an “unanticipated relocation to the floor.”

Had to take a hiatus a few years back though after the following:  Set up - Doing rounds on a night shift, which entails walking all the halls to ensure doors are locked, no smoke smelled, check in with staff… etc.  Approaching the desk on 4th floor and watching coworker Daphanie not seeing me approach so I pull out the toe/heel kick gag.  However, for the first time ever, I misstep and really do a face plant on the rug covered concrete.  BAM!  Like a sack of sand.  I hit so hard my ears were ringing.  I just laid there sure I had a broken bone or internal injuries.  In the background I could hear Daphanie trying not to laugh.

Slowly I climbed to my feet and was fine though still shook.  I guess it's true that being 6'8” makes you fall harder.  Daphanie and I laughed and I continued on my way.  When I got to the floor below the staff asked if everything was alright upstairs 'cause they had heard a loud thump just minutes before.  After ascertaining that Daphanie hadn't called down to tell them and then recovering from anger over their not responding to help (just in case) I realized I really had hit that floor hard if they heard it.  Damn.

So I swore off that little trick for awhile.  I'm back at it now though.

Hee hee,
David

I thought you were an expert! You didn't check to see what surface you were going to land on! Concrete covered by a rug is not a good landing pad! Oh what I would give to see a video of that moment in time! Uh yeah, don't take up ice skating at 6' 8”… The bruises on your backside, elbows, and shoulders take many more moons to heal Oh Clumsy One! {{giggle}}
