In my quest to understand your…uh… OUR species, I often run across things that I react to in strange ways. I want to know if I am just weird or if these reactions are fairly common.
Please aid me in my attempts to gain insight into your human…ummm… our human condition, and take the time to answer the following question in the comment box:
Whenever I squeeze a plastic mustard or ketchup bottle and it makes a farting sound, it makes me want to laugh. Does this mean I am hopelessly immature or is it just because I am a man?
Pouring My Art Out 
Nothing’s better than the real thing, Art. You’re missing out on opportunity every time you substitute. Shame.
Life is full of choices…
Indeed.
I support your right to choose that word.
Why, thank you. If you were to ask me, I would tell you that Indeed is one of my most favorite choices of words. One thing I appreciate most about you is that although you may seem obstinately opinionated on the outside, you really just want me to be happy. That’s so touching.
Why would I not want you to be happy?
I care enough that sometimes when I comment on your post I worry that you might take a joke the wrong way. And I even try, amidst the joking, to throw in a few real thoughts for you to consider. I don’t do that to everyone. Not even in real life.
I wonder if it’s because our friendship got off to a rocky start. There were a few comments that went wayward at the beginning, and I almost wrote us off…? Maybe. Sometimes I think that I must blend into your massive crowd of followers and you barely have the ability to remember who I am apart from the others. That sounds like I have massive self-esteem issues, doesn’t it? Hmmmm…I’ll have to work on that.
I do notice your effort. You are one of the few ones who can make me smile or laugh out loud. It’s well worth the effort to me 🙂
I know you, and I remember things about you, which is saying a lot for my brain. I seem to recall that at first I tried too hard to be funny, and didn’t know how serious some of your posts are. I often rush in without thinking because it makes my brain hurt. I didn’t realize how much your posts reflected real pain and confusion because I had no back story. But even then I tried to make comments that were what you should hear and not what you would want to hear. Anybody can tell you what you want to hear. Just ask Mitt.
It could be just me, but I think ALL POLITICIANs do that 🙂 Being a Canadian, I find the political jokes go over my head. But I still appreciate your satire.
So many things go over my head I might as well be an air traffic controler.
I’ve heard that’s one of the highest stress jobs out there.
So is being me. Hey, go check out my new love song video and tell me if you can hear it.
YEP!! I could hear it…volume on max. The video didn’t work, but the sound could be turned up.
You couldn’t see it?
No. But that probably just means my computer is old. I knew that already.
You don’t know what you are missing… I guess.
But I look so handsome…
Show it to your wife 🙂
I will try.
I suffer mixed emotions when condiments fart- amusement, because hey, the ketchup does sound flatulent; but also deep sadness because damn, Uncle John used up all the ketchup again. He really is a hog.
Condiments are a never-ending source of strife and amusement…
hopelessly immature… I come to that conclusion because I laugh too and i am not a man… but I am hopelessly immature therefore.. not because of the man thing – besides there is plenty of other stuff to blame on men… 😛
As long as we can agree on that.
which part? oh never mind I am very agreeable.
I have heard that about you.
you have? huh.. well um.. at least you haven;t heard I am easy.. I guess there is that
It might be interpreted that way if a person had a dirty mind… but I don’t… not here.
nothing wrong with a dirty mind – you can interpret it anyway you want – reality is only your perception – WAIT a MINUTE…!
I never listen to gossip.
why not its good diversion – as long as you don;t act on it.. I mean unless its true but mostly its just interesting. I just get annoyed so after the first 10 words or so,.. its a crap shoot
I like tall tales better.
i like monkey tails i mean tales
With A1 sauce?
ranch dressing.. or sometimes a 2 sauce never a 3 tho
Ha.
😀
um well that’s good to know – not here indeed. in your mind? -)
both
That’s it? No bitting sarcasm? No cutting commentary? No words of wisdom or thought-provoking observations? No analysis? No contravention?…(is that even a real word?)…
i’m a kind quiet respectful sort of person… 😉
When did this happen exactly?
ahaha! you’re on to me!
You thought I would let that one slip by?
no
I’d say because you’re a man.
I am not even sure there is a right answer. You humans… us humans are so complicated.
Very true we are endlessely complicated.
Well unfortunately not All of you… uh… us are… but I take your point.
No, it’s perfectly sane I am sorry to tell you. It’s great little things can make us laugh. I had a customer the other day on the phone, a French guy, then he told me his name was Mr Froger.
I had to hold the phone away so he wouldn’t hear me giggling.
I would have done the same thing. We are simpatico, amigo.
Could it be both? It is funny though. I like it when it sounds like diarrhea!
It just never gets old…
Exactly…you’re OK.
If we don’t talk about these things, you will never… we will never…advance as a species.
At least there are people like you to open the conversation up to plebs like me!
Someone has to ask the tough questions.
