I got a bitch, and its humor. Its nothing special anymore, its everywhere. And some dam good stuff I might add. So will humor go the way of all other good things, if a little is good lets go for it, and suffer the consequences later, but for now, party party party.

One mans humor is another mans enjoyment. And just what is humor, anyway. If someone tells me a joke, or I see something funny and I laugh out loud, then its funny slash humor. If I don’t laugh, its not funny, therefore not humorous. Lets look at what I think is funny. The singing telegram, one of my favorites. Anything that pokes fun at the seven deadly disabilities. Al, Peg, Bud, and whats her name. The Sienfield 3. Most of the humor I like, would be sarcastic, or at someone else’s expense, the bigger the expense, the bigger the laugh. But thats just me.

For the most part, when I channel surf, I will light on standup if its there. No question, I stop. I don’t often stop for the sitcoms, though there are a few funny ones. The interesting thing is, the 30 minute sitcom used to be my staple, and I’m wondering why, now, I pass them by . The marketers talk about how viewers have to be grabbed every 30 seconds or we bolt. I admit , I want fast, no Irish stories for me.

So where is the bitch. Years ago I use to watch 60 minutes, I watched it when it meant something. Then Donahue, 20 20, da da da then Sally. It took me that long to realize, the merits of 60 minutes, were no longer anywhere to be found, even on 60 minutes. The comedy connection, is, it has taken me this long in life to be able to find good humor, 24 hours a day, and some shmucks are going to over do it, and it won’t be funny anymore, "funny is a relative term" The best we have to look forward is we can always watch reruns of 60 minutes and I love Lucy. Wait a minute, this doesn’t make any sense, forget it.

Actually some of the best laughter is laughing at myself. Its daily, its funny, and I learn from it. I’ve learned to look a little closer at the mouthwash bottle, there are other products that are blue and in a platic container. I’ve learned to not let my wife see everything I write And because she won’t see this "you wrecked the puzzel, then threw a hissy fit, I was just trying to move it when it fell apart, na na na na na the puzzels off the table. I have learned that those that laugh with me are OK in my book and those that laugh at me are insecure assholes, at least thats what Dr. Laura says . But in any case its worth the chance.
