The twenty fourth day of "30-Day Bloggers Group" [13+] The Sunday News! Comedian and sitcom star Jim Gaffigan recently did a stand-up comedy show in Buffalo, NY, and apparently was so funny it drove a pregnant woman into labor three weeks early. There really isn't any way of knowing for sure if one led to the other, of course, but you can tell us this...'One time I laughed so hard...' (and then what happened?). One time I laughed so hard, I fell off the couch onto the floor where I kept on laughing. I remember it was British humor in an English television show. I love British humor. It is very dry humor, sophisticated at best and most of the time linguistic in nature. It can be very funny. The last time I laughed aloud at the point of hysteria was in the Comedy Train in Denver, Colorado in summer of 2004. I tried to Google it but apparently, that little theater somewhere downtown Denver no longer exists. Shame. It was a lovely theater with five American stand-up comedians per (Saturday) night. I remember laughing my pants off at the point of attracting the attention of a man in the audience. He had to smile because I enjoyed myself so much. He was very good looking and our eyes just interlocked for a few minutes. I never saw him again after that. Double shame. Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. Langston Hughes Day ONE "Give It 100!" |
