Take 3 giggles and call me in the morning.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think humor is in the funnybone of the listener/watcher. Here's the sitch...S and I are watching tv last night. First, the Family Guy. We regularly watch the Family Guy, but last night's was not an episode of the Family Guy I enjoyed. There were many references to things I feel are too serious to joke about. Also, they have a recurring bit with the dad fighting a giant chicken. I completely don't get this. (note: A tagline for this episode describes it as having "The longest chicken fight in TV history.") S thought this was hysterical.

An hour later I am BUSTING OUT laughing because this happens on New Adventures of Old Christine:

Christine: (singing along with radio) That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia. That's the night that they hung an immigrant ham.
Richard: (turns off radio) You pretty sure you got the words right to that song?
Christine: Yeah.
And then
Christine: (singing "The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia") The Georgia patrol was making their rounds so he fired a shot just to flag em down and a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gum and said, "Why'd you chew it?"
Richard: Sing it.
This was the funniest thing I'd seen on tv in a looooong time. S didn't see the humor there. I remember so many times that my mom and my Kabbage would just SIIIIIIING like they had good sense. I know you are both probably reading this, but you KNOW it's true! Making up words, getting all into the song, humming if they didn't know the words, etc. Kabbage "harmonizing", mom doing that snap/clap dance move.

At any rate…laughter is definitely an individual response to what one considers "funny". Whatever it is you are laughing at, make sure you get your daily dose. Laughter is the best medicine (says Reader's Digest!)
