Tell us about something you saw, heard or did today that made you smile or laugh... preferably not a 'joke' or something you read at GTP, but something that actually happened today (or v. recently)...

Although it happened last night (and Sunday), I just remembered this today:-

Yesterday, I was watching a television programme about a silly woman who tried to smuggle heroin in Thailand and got caught. I had the subtitles on as well, since I'm choked with a cold and my ears are blocked, but the TV reception wasn't great, so the subtitles were somewhat incomplete. At one point, the woman (narrating) said that after she had been caught, she couldn't think of anything else other than "how it was going to affect my parents"... unfortunately, due to the poor reception, a couple of letters dropped out and so the subtitles read "how it w s going to affect my pa nts" - I couldn't help thinking that if I had been arrested for smuggling heroin in Thailand, I'd be worried about the state of my pants as well... :sick:

That reminded me that on Sunday night, the same thing happened while I was watching a programme called 'The 100 Greatest Cartoons'... during a clip from 'Finding Nemo', a character shouts "NEMO!", but again, due to the poor reception, the subtitle read " EMO!"... :boggled:
 
My uncle took me for a "practice driving lesson".

He told me to depress the clutch, so I told the clutch it was fat.

:D
 
Something my Dad said this morning about a horrible boss he used to work for. He left work about a month ago, so the boss told a few friends of Dad's to ask Dad a few questions from him via email. What Dad said about him aloud to me is a little unfriendly to repeat here. :p
 
I've just been told I'm getting a week to myself soon :D, Charlottes cousins, sisters, aunties, mother-in-laws, neices daughter or something like that is getting married and we've both been invited to the wedding which I'll go to out of respect but Charlottes going to spend the Monday to Friday before the wedding which is on the Saturday with them and thank god I can't get that week off work so I'm traveling over on the Saturday. That made me smile.
 
The immense amount of work I have to do made me laugh, as the only other option is to curl up in the fetal position, suck your thumb and cry yourself to sleep.

Twelve plus hour days are getting old.
 
Putting an obnoxious customer in a loaner car, because the special order part won't be in until tomorrow...I have the day off tomorrow.
 
today has been such a crap day (34º, had an argument with an employee, had to "pull rank" with another, got off 3 hours later than usual, got home late, got to class late, and now I have a weird pain in my arm) that I've just been laughing sarcastically at everything

A caution for language does NOT make the language ok.
 
My friends Jillian and Katie made me smile today just by looking at them. They're sincerely beautiful. /melt.
 
Aww bless, there's a girl at work who got blanked by David Asselhoff the other week she was waving at him and he blanked her, we had a joke about that earlier today, she waved when I got in and I just walked past her.
 
She should know better than to hassel the Hoff.
 
My friend. He saw a sign that was a school warden warning sign. The warden on the sign was standing really straight with his two arms out straight. My friend shouts out "Look!! Its Jesus guiding the children across the road!!"


You had to be there really
 
My teacher.

He was walking, and he never swears, but he stubbed his toe (he had flip flops on) and he went ALL OUT in curses. The door was open, and he acted normal again. What a noob.
 
What has made me laugh? What has made me laugh?!

The ignorance and pain in this world. It's really very funny how we can be so ignorant, and live through such paine every day. Why are we confined by these things, in my case school, AIM, my pride, and GTP?

Think about it.
 
Ignorance.

According to a co-worker....the "God Temples" and monuments that are located in Sicily, ARE STILL property of Greece :rolleyes: . But the funniest part is that he said "are still"..like if they've ever been.


He wasn't telling me that to me though, he was trying to show off in front of the rest of the crew at lunch time. I couln't help it and stepped in to...school him a little bit on Roman Mythology.


After that...I wasn't the only one laughing in the room :)




Ciao!
 
I need to word my posts better? Ok, try this--

Today I was thinking about the confinements of our conventional lives, and why we live through them. In the comedy The Gods Must be Crazy, the bushmen have none of the confinements of computers, work, greed, or violence, etc. Everything they do and use is natural, and does not require pollution, and they have nothing to fight each other for. School and work are not required to survive in this community, and they live off nature.

Now contrast that with our society. In our society, we have violence. Rape. Murder. Theft and robbery. We are bound by our attatchments. In my case these are GTP and AIM. Without these, I can't live. And I have to go to school every day, this is a fact that I cannot change or avoid. People rape for their own sexual pleasure, against peoples will, kidnap just for money, kill just to get things ranging from a bottle of beer to mere revenge on their enemies. We fight for our pride, and steal things we want as a last resort. There are so many corruptions in this society, in our government, in our customs, in our ways. Kids think it fun to pull pranks on innocent people. Companies like Big Tobacco sell products that are known to be addicting and cause death or illness. Idiots run for president then plunge their nations into a war against their will for no good reason.

I think all these things are rather worth laughing at.
