Be funny

The wonderful, and helpful, Dodie has once again taken charge of the weekend blog prompt. It's nice to have a couple of days off from thinking up a writing prompt, but one of the reasons I did that is because I rarely blog on the weekends. So unfortunately, I haven't been doing Dodie's prompts, which is extremely unsupportive of me! I need to be better about that, because her prompts are always great!

This weekend, the prompt was to share a joke. Now anyone who knows me in "real" life, knows that I am not a joke person. I love humor, love watching stand-up comedians, love to laugh. But to share a joke? Yeah, that's not me at all. Whenever I try, if I can actually think of one which is rare, I get all tongue-tied in the effort of remembering the punchline. And, lucky for me, I married into a family of punsters. And they're really good at it. Especially my brother-in-law. He can tell a story in which every sentence contains a pun, and he tells them with such a straight face, you'd never realize there was a joke happening. I have learned to listen VERY carefully when talking to him!

So, in lieu of a joke, here's one of my favorite comic strips. The characters are a stay at home dad who likes to spend a lot of time on the computer and his small children who make that difficult. Other than the man/woman thing, that usually strikes home! Here's one from last week that made me, and my expanding waistline, laugh:

Here are a few of my husband's favorites:

What do you call a man with no arms and no legs hanging on your wall?

Art.

What do you call arms and legs hanging on your wall?

Pieces of Art.

What do you call two guys with no arms and legs hanging on your wall?

Curt and Rod.

Hope I haven't offended anyone! That was the best I could do!
