Wacky Wednesday

I'm not sure if it's lack of sleep, a hangover, or if the stars are aligned in such a way to just make me crack up everytime I turn around today.

This morning, I received this joke from KP's father's email, who usually tries to shock me by sending pictures of semi- or totally nekkid, ginormously well-enhanced women. But this time he sent a run-of-the-mill joke to my email and it made the Diet Pepsi switch directions in the back of my throat and come out of my nose with laughter. Here it is:

Just wanted you to know that I had a car crash today, no-one was hurt, but I ran into the back of a guys car. I felt even worse when the guy got out - he was a dwarf!!! As he surveyed the damage to his car he was getting quite heated up and emotional. Eventually he came over to me and said in a loud voice "I AM NOT HAPPY" "Which one are you then?" said I. It didn't seem to help.

If that isn't funny enough, get a load of what happened later on as people found that I had forwarded said joke to their inboxes. I got mucho replies saying "Funniest joke in ages!" and "I just cried laughing." Apparently the joke was a hit. (I pride myself on not forwarding jokes that don't literally make me laugh; I'm considerate that way. You're welcome, my email friends.)

Then after lunch, my boss who is traveling today, sends a quick response: "Damn, I hate to hear about that. Glad u r okay." WTF?

He either was having another one of his days where it was a good thing he was out of the office or he has completely lost all sense of humor. I emailed back "you do realize that was a joke, don't you?" In a short time, my phone rang. It was da boss. I could hear his embarrassment over the phone! He had apparently only read the first line of the joke. I certainly hope he pays better attention to his wife! A little while later, I heard from a person he had seen earlier in the day. "Are you okay?" The laughter continued on my part.

It was like I had posed my own experiment or something. Maybe like that game we played as kids where you whisper something in your friend's ear and they pass it along and so on and so on, until the last person ends up with a totally different message. I'm sure there was something psychological-ly there.

Oh - and speaking of psychological......(first, let me state that the following story is of a very personal nature, so co-workers of mine who happen to read my blog, please don't embarrass me by throwing this out willy-nilly at the next company party, k?)......

Last night, Boy Toy J (I so want to call him BTJ, but that just sounds like a serial killer in the midwest) came over after work for a very late dinner and to once again kiss-up to CruiserMel. (heh, it's still working) We hit a bottle of wine pretty hard, cheered at how hard Cleveland was trying to win the game, laughed a ridiculous amount to old "Will and Grace" episodes and eventually ended up, um....how you say?....enjoying eachother's company around 2:00 in the A. All was going swimmingly (I love that word) until I must've done something magnificent because the following exchange occurred:

Boy Toy J: God, that's hot.

CruiserMel: *snort*

Boy Toy J: What did I say? What's so funny?

CruiserMel: Sorry, I was just thinking of Paris Hilton.

Boy Toy J: Gee, I didn't know you were into girls.

Needless to say, the mood was lost for a few as we had to compose ourselves.

And that's the way the day has gone. So far. And there are still 6 1/2 hours to go. Woooo Hoooo, Wacky Wednesday!!!!!
