I'm Too Funny!

I think it is best to always be able to laugh at yourself.

My whole life I have tried making every situation humorous. Partly so I do not have to deal with anything bad (who really wants to cry) and partly because it is just done right fun. I mean, who doesn't love to laugh.

Yesterday was a day of laughter for me. After working way too many overtime hours, I have become giddy and cannot stop joking about everything - no matter how inappropriate the timing may be. While in a 2-hour meet and greet meeting, I spend most of it cracking up my co-workers. I was laughing so hard that when it came time for me to introduce myself, I could barely get the words out of my mouth. Part of our introductions had to be an "unusual fact about ourselves." Well, why not just show me Pandora's Box and tell me not to open it. Not only did I "rip" on everyone else's "unusual fact", but I made up several of my own prior to my turn. Though everyone around me was practically in tears, I think I cracked myself up more.

Then in the afternoon I had the perfect idea for a joke. If WVU lost to Louisville, I would send sympathy cards out to all of my WVU friends. I know not too humorous. I had planned out what the cards would say "Sorry for your loss. It is best it happen now rather than loose a BCS bid to Notre Dame later in the season." I did not think I could amuse myself more than with that. All I needed was for WVU to actually loose.

Well answer my prayers, they did and in such a glorious fashion. I was absolutely giddy over the anticipation of sending out these "sympathy cards." Honestly at the time, I did not think it could get any funnier. That was until this morning. I had an epiphany! Bud Light used to have this Talking Faces gag site where you upload a pic of someone and make that picture "talk." How awesome would it be to have Coach Rod himself deliver my message.

Again, I though it was the most hilarious thing ever. I was literally so proud of myself. I completed the task, added my verbiage and sent it out to all of my WVU friends. I have yet to hear back from any of them, though. I hope they find it as entertaining as I did. If not, at least I got a good laugh out of it.
