Humour and the pain it brings.

I have always found that the reason that certain humour is liked more so than others is that each individual who hears it can have it resonate on something painful in their past and the irony rings funny to them.

The key is to get the joke to ring to the masses.  A good comedian can make their joke ring to larger amounts of people.  A joke about stepping on Legos can be hilarious if you have ever had little boys and when you go into their room at night  to give them a hug and that jagged little instrument of pain gouges you on the sole of a foot.

My humour may not ring as true to all.  Maybe if you have been betrayed, maybe if your significant other has cheated on you, maybe if you have ever had $40,000 stolen, maybe if you have ever been denied rights to see you own children.

Its ok if you dont find my humour funny.  I do and it is therapeutic.

Many of these I have posted over the months on facebook.  Here is where I leave my humour to rest:

How does one explain to your kids that the old man at the gym who used to tap daddy ... is now coming home for dinner and tonight is gonna tap mommy?

 So splashing water on you is assault IV?  Funny you didnt mind random guys throwing water on you at tiki bobs when you were out drunk competing in that wet T shirt contest.

Today I feel sick.  I dont know maybe it was something I ate.  I had some old sausage last night.  Now my stomach is turning and sick. I wonder if this is how Melinda feels going down on a geriatric man?

So tell me how it is OK to date a girl 18 years younger than you who is still married but it is wrong for me to hang out with a single girl who is 20 years younger.

So tell me how I am a bad parent for making California Stops at stops signs but you are the world best parent even tho you give you kids Melatonin so you can get them to fall asleep early so you and your swinging friends can get named and drunk in a hot tub.
