I think about stuff


While on a wonderful vacation to Myrtle Beach a couple of years back, I got to visit Alabama Theater. What a delight! Along with all the other wonderful entertainment, they had a stand-up comedian named "Ricky"....yes, that is his "mugshot" at the top! I actually bought his video after the show....just a hilarious guy! He was everyone's favorite!

Well, Ricky started the "I think about stuff..." routine and I was ROFL. How smart people can act so dumb is beyond me, but he had it DOWN. From "What's that smell? .....Taco Bell" to "That's a thought loop...." to "You go girl".... he won me over!

I also love "thinking about stuff". Lately with serious matters to dwell on, it has been delightful and uplifting to just find some "humor" in life. I look up funny videos on You Tube, find cute jokes, read funny articles and try to share them all! Now, this is where I usually get more laughs than desired because I am not good at joke telling. Seems like I rush the story or forget the punchline.....sometimes making up a funnier story in the process. Oh well, life is good....:)

In all my "research" for laughter, I ran onto some funny "points to ponder". Today I want to share them with you. They make me laugh and they also make me think.... a good combination....if I am thinking while having fun, I am not wasting time, right! :)
