What makes you smile? laugh? I want it all here. I want to spend more time smiling and less time frowning. Make me smile, make others smile, make everybody smile.
Ok- this might seem mean to some people. But something that makes me smile/laugh my butt off is when people screw up language. I don't mean the Chinese guy on the phone saying "Ok you get 2 ordas sweet and sowa chickun and cwab wangoo. Ok fie o ten minute ok." Not that. And not typos- (i mean they are sometimes funny like when you mean to type shirt and type shit.) I mean like one of my BFF's -who shall remain nameless (although she is more computer handicapped than an 80 yr old with Alzheimers and has NO WAY of ever happening upon this post) to protect her dippiness. I love her dearly and one thing I LOVE about her is that every time she opens her mouth she BUTCHERS the beloved English language. I mean just slaughters it. I swear I keep a little book on my counter just for this specific purpose. I literally write down the crap she says while we are chatting. It's a hoot. Then I call my mom or Erin and say "OMG you wont believe what XXXXX just said..." and we die laughing together. Now, don't think terribly of me- she knows I do this. She knows about the book. And what a friend! She just laughs and says "If you publish that I get 1/2 the money" So, without further ado, I am going to list a few of these "XXXXXisms"
#1 "They had to take him to Big St John's by Helivac" (meaning AIR EVAC helicpoter) #2 "He's nuts. He has problems out the gazunheit" (wtf? gazunheit is German for Bless you...) #3 "I was going to wear shorts but I didnt want everybody to see my vertical veins" (VERICOSE veins) #4 "It just goes to show ya, you can judge people by their books" (ummm I think that's 'you cant just a book by its cover...") The list goes on!! And maybe it's not funny to you but I have tears rolling down my face as I am typing these. Just a KILL! I love it. It makes me SMILE :)
