Have you ever had a gut-wrenching fall out of your seat laugh? I was thinking the other day at this one time a long time ago. SH Rider High School, German Class. I was an official class clown. Apparently because my mother always talked with my German teacher I felt like I had special privileges and could crack jokes all of the time. The weird thing about this one time is that no one else knew what I was laughing at. I think it might have been a dirty conjugation of a German word. This pious kid kept on saying it and I couldn't help myself. "Bernardo! What are you laughing at?" says the teacher. My German name was Bernardo, I have no idea why I picked it. I start laughing and the kid keeps on saying it. Eventually I start tearing up and fall out of my desk. The German teacher, Frau Forsythe, says "Go get a drink of water and compose yourself." Unfortunately I was still on the ground laughing and couldn't stand up. I crawl to my desk and try to stop laughing and then I just remembered what happened and it all starts over again. This time I could walk so I went outside of the classroom to get a drink of water. I think I was close to a laugh like that a couple weekends ago when I saw that terrible x-rated band. Let me just say the guy looked like a porcupine, but those weren't quills. I almost hit the ground when I saw it. Even though they were terrible, they sure did make me laugh. Sometimes things are so ridiculous you must laugh.

Thought of the Day

The Black Knight: Have at you!
King Arthur: You're indeed brave sir knight, but the fight is mine.
The Black Knight: Oh, had enough, aye?
King Arthur: Look you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
The Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
The Black Knight: Just a flesh wound.
The Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that.
King Arthur: You'll what?
The Black Knight: Come here.
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
The Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: You're a loony.
