Funsense With Nunsense - Or The Lost Sense Of Humor

I think I've lost my sense of humor. I've looked everywhere but it keeps eluding me. This thread is about what makes you laugh. I used to laugh at lots of things but I don't so much anymore.  What makes you laugh? Can you make me laugh again?

 

Some things that used to make me laugh...

 

Laurie and Fry

Monty Python

political satire

Dilbert (still does sometimes)

 

 

 

A poem by Steven West 2009

 

I lost my sense of humor.
I don't know where it's at.
I was told that it was taken
By an old, mangy cat.

But I found the bloody cat,
It just purred and rubbed my knees.
It didn't have my humor,
But it did have plenty of fleas.

 

Next, I called 911.
I said it was an emergency.
But when I told them about my problem,
They just said go drink some tea.

 

I've looked for my humor
In the kitchen and under my bed.
I didn't find it there,
But I discovered a mouse that was dead.

 

I put up a reward.
I'll pay fifty bucks.
I want my sense of humor back,
But please don't send rubber ducks.

 

I'm desperate and I'm gloomy.
I'm having a terrible fit.
I need my sense of humor now
Cause I'm feeling just like #@!$.

You need to spend some time with children who are two-three-four years old. 

 

If THEY don't make you laugh, then you really have lost your sense of humor. And in that case, I'd recommend a novena to Our Lady of Laughter (she's the opposite our Our Lady of Sorrows, but it's the same lady).

And yet Luigi - you haven't made me laugh! :shock:

 

This is the Lame Board buddy - I don't want serious solutions - I want laughter!

Maybe you left your sense of humor in a book?

 

I defy you not to laugh at this one, Nunsense....

AL- I am giving you a prop because it was funny, even though I had problems reading the subtitles - fuzzy for some reason. But I got the gist of it. Thank you. I will prop anyone who makes me laugh. :)

Well....even the title of this thread made me smile!

 

How about this.

 

A Sister in a primary school was on lunch duty and had written a notice on a basket of apples "take only one...remember Jesus is watching you." Further along was a similar sign on a plate of cookies. The class comedian announced, "It's OK take what you want, Jesus is watching the apples!"

 

Regardless of the joke, I hope your spirits are lifted today.

Bernie - yes, that is cute so you get a prop too!:) 

 

By the way everyone, I am not 'down' or anything like that. I just don't seem to laugh at things as much as I used to. If my mother were still here, she would say, 'You seem to have lost your girlish laughter' . I don't know when everything seemed to get so serious for me but I wouldn't mind balancing that will a few good hearted laughs as well. It might 'kick-start' my humor engine. :)

ALMOST everyone in the US is asleep.   ;)

 

And soon I will join them!   

 

I'm a notorious night owl... which is why we would be almost posting simultaneously when you were on the Camino.

 

Was true even as a tiny kid.  I remember VIVIDLY the night I realized that if I just appeared to be asleep... my parents would go to bed and the house would be MINE.   And I did it.... and turned on a light.... and no one woke up.   I went to my bookcase, and pulled out a book... and read it cover to cover.... it was this one:

I think I was in about 1st or 2nd grade.  Yup, not likely to change me more than 50 years later!

 

Having a husband who works nights has made my schedule even more confirmedly backwards.  Thing is, I can't decide if I am more Aussie scheduled or British scheduled... I know I certainly am on something other than Pacific Time!!!!!!!

 

I'm out of props at this hour... but here's another story for you... and then I WILL get to sleep....

 

A Sister was looking over the artwork of some of her young students.   One of the children was coloring a cow bright green.

 

Sister remarked, "Joey, I've never seen a cow of that color."

 

Joey looked at the drawing, and then up at Sister, and then at the drawing again.   And then he beamed at Sister and said, very happily, "Well, now you have!"

Little children are so good at making me smile...... and sometimes to laugh!!!!!

A nun at a Catholic school asked her students what they want to be when they grow up.
Little Suzy declares, "I want to be a prostitute." 
"What did you say?!" asks the nun, totally shocked. 
"I said I want to be a prostitute," Suzy repeats. 
"Oh, thank heavens," says the nun. "I thought you said 'a Protestant!'

 

Q. Why can't Anglicans play chess? 

A. Because they can't tell a Bishop from a Queen.

Emilyann - I used to have that last one on my profile page-love it. I also love the ones from Raphael and Elliott (one is so honest and one is so sweet).  I think about God, even when I am not praying too so Elliott and I would get along!

 

I did laugh so you get a prop. This is what I seem to have lost - the child in me. I am too old and serious now. My family have always told me I am 'too deep' but I never minded that - I always saw the funny side of things too. I am going to find that again with all of you helping me. :)

This reminds me of a poem we used to say as children.

 

I never saw a purple cow,

I never hope to see one.

But from the milk we're getting now,

There certainly must be one.

And I used to love those Little Golden Books. My favorite was one called Big Little Kitty.
