Two Things That Made Me Laugh Today
This is my first written attempt in my new goal to actively point out something or things that made me laugh each day. It seems healthy.
The first is remarkably inappropriate:
Today i attended the funeral of one of my favorite teachers from high school. The first half was quite nice, sincere memories and honors to the deceased in words spoken by the children and a couple of musical numbers. The rest was dry, almost fanatical LDS propaganda. And then this happened:
During the telling of a cliff-diving story about the deceased, the eulogizer gets a little carried away and says something along the lines of “how do you fall that far, bounce off the cliff rocks and be alive today to tell about it…?” Realizing what he just said, he stops, stammers for a minute, and then just proceeds with his talk.
In addition to chuckling at the funeral-faux-pas of referring to the dearly departed as “still being alive today to tell about it”, i laughed literally out loud at this line from the Onion AV Club review of EdTV:
“Which NKOTB Would Marry You?” (my guess? Zeppo, the forgotten Wahlberg)”
I sure hope the “Zeppo Wahlberg” catches on.
