Laughing in the Mirror

There are times in life when we become so bogged down with the day-to-day crap that we forget to enjoy or even laugh at living. You've got to. It is a steam valve. smile a little and reflect on the absurdity of damn near everything. My personal feelings are that there is nothing that cannot be joked about or that has humor...including death. As with all humor it is all about timing.
For instance we may be able to tell jokes about death from long ago -
How long did Caine hate his brother? As long as he was Able. (I didn't say it was good humor) But maybe not joke about Hitler yet. Comedy. Timing.
The point is that there is humor all around you. The other day we were holding a big signing event in which people attending were given a number for their place in line.  I received a phone call.
"I have a number for your event tonight."
"Yes."
"I'm just trying to figure out when to be there."
"Okay. what number do you have?"
"Well, are you doing the numbers in order?"
I should have told them no. we're pulling them randomly like the draft so be here from the beginning.
Today somebody walked in and asked if I carried cassettes. I told them I didn't, only CDs.
"What kind of place is this?"
"A horror book and gift store"
"So do you have Simon and Garfunkel?"
'nuff said.

Hahaha. He might of had better luck if he had asked you if you had Simon and Garfunckle on a "caskette". (more very bad humor).
