Funny Duos
The one thing more fun than one comedian: two comedians.
Sometimes, you watch a couple of people, and it is very clear that their humor is feeding off one another. Famous examples are Laurel and Hardy, Tom and Jerry, Cheech and Chong, Sarah Palin and Tina Fey, Lloyd and Harry.
A less famous comedy duo consists of me and my brother from Berlin. He arrived here at LAX on a recent Wednesday with his two sons. Between brother and I, we achieved to botch pretty much every single aspect of picking up somebody from the airport. I started it by driving to the airport in a car that seats five with my own three children already in it. No space for three more.
I had spent a few minutes at home drawing a lovely welcoming sign to hold up when he and his sons would walk up the arrivals corridor. Except that I never got to hold it up for them to find me because their plane landed a little earlier than planned and I was at the airport too late. They already sat in the arrivals terminal on a bench.
Brother then decided to put his luggage into the trunk of my car. For some reason, that made sense at the time.
He then boarded the shuttle to the car-rental place without me and my kids. And also without his kids. (15&13) The shuttle then proceeded to stop at. every. single. terminal. And to slowly drive through Los Angeles traffic to a remote car-rental yard. On his way back to the airport from the rental place, brother got lost twice.
A full hour after taking off in the shuttle, he finally arrived back in front of the terminal. In my infinite wisdom, I put his children into his car and sent him off with a set of vague directions. One of the directions was to take Century Boulevard, turn right, and find a spot to park where I could catch up with him. He then drove off from the crowded and hectic Terminal B in LAX with his two kids but without luggage.
I went to the parking structure to retrieve my car with his luggage in it. I drove out of the airport and turned right as I instructed him. Turns out, when you turn right into Sepulveda Boulevard from Century, there is not a single legal or safe spot to stop a car. After driving for five minutes and realizing this, I turned around. I thought he must be on Century.
Driving back on Sepulveda Boulevard with the intention to turn left into Century, I missed it. That proved to be a good thing. Brother had mixed up right and left. He was two blocks to the left of Century Boulevard instead of to the right.
Once I reunited him with his luggage, we finally exchanged phone numbers. Are you rolling your eyes? 
Now that we had achieved to trade phone numbers, reunite him with his luggage, I gave him my oldest son to ride with him in his car to guide him to our next destination. D'oh!

In response to my last newsletter "Family Fun" , I received the following responses.
Quick-Quill  wrote: Giselle, You have no idea! We have so many family stories we trot out for new people. They are bodily function, stupid kid stories and just dumb things. Maybe we shouldn't tell them so often.
Tell, tell, tell.

Oh yes. Although I have to say the cousin with the red pick up truck is a combo item from a co-worker's relative from Alabama and a joke I heard in a show with Larry the Cable Guy.
