A Time NOT to Laugh

So it was one of those long days where at the end of it everyone just ends up loopy. The weather was off, my teacher kept confusing me and someone else – so not my identical twin, and then there was this documentary. Ok, so after 5 law students finally figured out how to operate the volume we started watching The Supreme Injustices. Something totally not funny in the film triggered my laughing. I could not stop. Seriously.

My sister and I have this problem, she worse than I. We’ll be in church and someone does or says or looks something funny and you’ll see her shoulders start to shake up and down, and then before you know it the entire pew appears to be bouncing up and down. It’s vehemently contagious.

So I decided to Google “how to stop laughing” and sure enough, there are rules for these things. Some of them I tried, and failed…others just made me laugh more.

The Things We Say…

(Learned about this through Pastor Cork’s Oak Leaves)

I once experimented with eliminating the unnecessary use of the word “like” from my vocabulary, but the habit didn’t stick. Here’s what Taylor Mali has to say about our excessive use of empty filler words. If you’d like the caption to follow along check out Totally Like Whatever.

Shame on Hip Hop

Hilarious example of newsworthy ignorance.
