I am SO funny!

Seriously. I crack me UP!

I find myself catching myself doing things that, if I were to witness others doing, would laugh and or question their sanity. Mostly, I would just laugh.

Like this morning. I was lotioning up after a shower and as I went to dispense the lotion, it shot across the sink and landed all the way down the length of my lower torso and leg. BULLSEYE! Now, generally speaking, this isn’t that comical. It was more my facial expression and reaction when it happened. The range of emotion and expression that crossed my face had to have been vast and vastly goofy at that.

Then later in the day, I was in the car on the way to King Gyro to meet a friend for lunch. (YUM! But beside the point). I found myself doing this weird facial contortion to some crappy 70’s song that I know all the lyrics to - wait, no! It was an 80’s song… Hall & Oats. I cracked up when I thought of what my face looked like.

How often do we pass someone passionately singing along to the radio? Or, like the other day, I saw a woman popping zits while her boyfriend was pumping gas. I am sure people have seen me putting on foundation at stoplights on my way into work.

One of my FAVORITE instances of “unintentional drive-by voyeurism” was while driving down to Indy with 3 friends. We were heading down for a Genesis concert (“The Way We Walk” – again, beside the point…). At the time, I was working at the local grocery store and I typically was on the closing shift and was responsible for wiping down the checkouts. I would end up with smock-pockets chock full of pens. These pens would then end up in the console of my car.

As we were driving down I-65, we pass this guy that has a pen JAMMED into his ear and was either trying to soothe an inner ear itch or literally trying to write a mental note. Either way, it was damn funny.

We followed him for what seemed to be miles and he just kept digging.

I grabbed the pens from the console and distributed them to the others in the car. We each held the pen to our ears and overtook the guy. He looks to his left as we passed and sees all of us looking at him imitating him. He slowly removed the pen and lowered his hand, blushed sheepishly and looked straight ahead. (couldn’t find a pick of someone digging in their ear while driving…had to go for the next best…)

The concert was good and the only other things that happened on that trip were both humiliating & humbling for me. Both instances involved people either looking down my shirt or being flashed by me whilst walking over the sidewalk grates. I didn’t mind that much. I had a nice rack back then.
