I've been chatting with a few witty friends this week who have made me chuckle with their one liners, mistakes, or Freudian slips, all fine forms of humor.
One liners are usually consist of an unexpected response or twist. For example, while talking on the phone with a friend who lived overseas he commented, "You are a lovely person. I can see that from here. I have very good eye sight." *Pthb* One liners many times are sarcastic in nature, but in my experience, the unexpected can bring peels of laughter.
One of the funniest mishaps is a simple choice of words. Many times a serious topic is being discussed and a word choosing makes light inadvertantly. For example, David Howells, a Chiropractor in New York state had a patient. This middle aged woman dropped off his calendar for about a year. He finally got ahold of her and turns out she had breast cancer and had a mastectomy. He could tell she was pretty tense about it, so he told her, "You've been a patient for a decade and that's family to me. The next time something like this happens, keep me abreast." There was dead silence on the other end of the line and he realized what he just said. "Oh no," he said, as she exploded into laughter. Turns out, it was the best thing he could have done for her! Sometimes those accidentals are right funny!
The best definition of a Freudian slip I found right here on Writing.Com in "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. . "A Freudian slip is when you think one thing but say your mother." This is something I do a lot, because I'm not good at multi-tasking! I would love to hear your Freudian slips, word blunders and one liners, and encourage you to write in to the newsletter and share them!
By the way, don't forget to wear your green Friday the 17th or you might get pinched! *Wink*

The title of your story you told to us in this NL ought to be "Cabs, Cockroaches and Con Air." Brians Next Novel Almost Done! Author IconMail Icon

Clever!!

Hi Sherry,
Aside from wanting to thank you for featuring MY taxi ride in your newsletter, I just wanted to say that you'll never squeal alone when it comes to cockroaches - yuk! Thanks for the entertainment Miss_JoJo Author IconMail Icon


I'm glad I'm not alone!

Many thanks for posting one of my stories in the Editor's pick section. Autie Author IconMail Icon

You're welcome!

Well, despite the fact that roaches can't hurt you, the "ick factor" is high enough that I'd be appalled to find one hanging overhead in a cab, and seriously grossed out if it fell into my lap. The cab driver should be the one getting the lecture, but these things happen. Now, if it had been a spider, a wasp, or a bee - I'd have been having "seizures" myself, in your shoes! Nonetheless, thanks for the giggles - I could picture this quite clearly, and didn't quite know whether to laugh or brush the virtual roach from my own lap in sympathy with you!
