Snort!

How many of you have ever laughed so hard you started snorting? It seems like it is always at the wrong time too. At an awards ceremony, a lady began talking to her husband at the next table about something that had happened that day. The conversation was not going well and they began to get louder. This was going on while the many awardees were being recognized. The lady started to turn fire engine red in the face and she had had enough from her husband. She threw her napkin down on the table only to have it hit the end of her fork. The fork flew into the air flinging food particles over the table. When the fork rested it was firmly rooted in her friends piece of cake. The table was silent for a moment and then erupted into laughter. At the same time the laughter erupted an award was given for the most respectful person in the company. Guess who was being honored. The lady who got mad, thew her napkin, and had the fork flying.

She never heard her name being called but was surprised to hear the MC telling her to come to the front. The table was laughing so hard because they thought the MC was going to point out her behavior to the crowd. To her surprise when she received the award for the most respectful, she started snorting in the microphone. The crowd burst into laughter. Can you relate? Let me know.

Floating Log

It was evening and the family came in from playing in the backyard. Being young parents of two girls ages six and one, the girls wanted to take a bath together to play with their tub toys. The oldest girl loves to pretend she is swimming in the tub while the youngest is still trying to figure out what the tub is all about. After a short time of playing, we heard screams beyond belief. It seems as if the youngest daughter felt very comforted with the warm water and expelled a floating log. To the surprise of the oldest daughter, the log was not a candy bar, a Lincoln log, or a plastic toy from their collection. Unknowingly, the log floated beside her head and lodged next to her eye. Now to give you a clearer picture, she was lying on her back in the tub with her head almost under the water. She had her eyes closed until she felt something bumping into her cheek. This is what got her screaming. We took of running when we heard the scream because we felt something happened. When entering the bathroom, the oldest daughter was actually climbing the wall of the tub while the youngest was pushing water like nothing ever happened. How many of you have ever had that happen to you? Let me know through the comment section.

Dancing Dog

One night while watching television, our little eight pound dog began to move and groove like never before. A musical commercial came on TV and at teat very moment the dog came running into the family room. The dog, Sammie, was turning and twisting, jumping like a rabbit, and burfing loudly. Burfing is not barking, but just an almost bark. Sammie made us laugh so much while listening to the music and seeing her dancing that we began crying. When the commercial stopped, Sammie didn't. We told her to stop, but she just couldn't. After a few minutes of her jumping hysterically, I went over to find the problem. Somehow she got a clothespin clipped to her inner rear leg and it was pinching her. She wasn't dancing after all, but burfing in pain. We felt so bad, but still had to laugh.

A Laugh about Potty Training

A long time ago, there once was a three year old named Mark. He loved to play outside. He had a little beagle and there wasn't enough time in the day to play with it. Mark had a little problem. He wanted to play and was not willing to stop for anything, including going to the bathroom. Mark's mom told him over and over to come in the house once in awhile to go. Mark did not listen time after time. Mom finally told Mark that if he dirtied his pants one more time he was going to be sent to the doghouse.

Hearing this, Mark was worried. He started coming into the house for small breaks and rest. But one day he played too hard with his beagle and forgot to go into the house. Hearing his mother's voice echo in his mind, Mark went hid from mom. After a few hours, Mark's mom was frantic because Mark was nowhere to be found. Out of desperation, she yelled for Mark out the back door. Mark hearing her panic answered back, Here I are!" To this day, Mark still gets that line brought up at every family gathering. Here I are will never leave me.

What a Deer Story

Imagine the excitement of your first day of hunting as a twelve year old boy. Being rolled out of bed at 3:30 AM to eat breakfast and put on fifty pounds of clothes to keep warm because of the bone chilling temperature outside. Your father tells you many things about your coat with fifty-three pockets filled with items ranging from toilet paper to bologna sandwiches. No time to go to the bathroom, dad pulls you out of the cabin and into walking in the snow with a newly purchased 30-30 rifle on your back. The time it takes to get to the chosen tree seems like an eternity but once getting there gives a refreshing feeling. Preparing your tree is somewhat a task in itself. Quietly pulling all the snow and leaves away from the tree in order to make a seat for yourself takes time. Finally being able to sit down on the Hotseat was refreshing. The only bad part about sitting down on the Hotseat, it seemed to have warmed the body enough to get things moving at the posterior end (if you know what I mean). Pulling off your fifty-three pocketed coat and walking to a nearby tree gave some relief. But to your surprise, NO TOILET PAPER! As you are leaning against the tree with your posterior end sticky out so the squirrels are laugh hysterically, you panic. Pulling the whistle to your lips given to you by dad in case of emergency, you blow two times on the whistle. Little did you realize you just woke up every living and non-living creature in the mountain. Dad finally arrives and begins laughing because of your white posterior end sticky out against the tree. He kindly gives you a reprimand for not paying attention, but lovingly gives you the most needed toilet paper. After going through all of this, a prayer is said to get you out of the mountain and back to the cabin. All of the sudden a curious deer walks in front of the firing line. To your surprise you are blowing the whistle again to notify you dad of becoming a great deer hunter. Back to the cabin. What a story!

Holy Cow Grandma!

One funny situation was in church. My 90 year old grandmother was standing to sing a hymn. All the sudden I saw her kicking her feet. Being a retired minister, I thought she was just moving to the music. To my surprise, she lost her underwear on the floor. She was kicking the floor to get the panties off her foot and into her pocketbook. At this point, she gathered the attention of two rows of people who started to laugh hysterically. At that point, church was over!
