People come up to me, and they say ... "Steve, how can you be so (freaking) funny?" - Steve Martin
I'm a funny guy. Sometimes, I just sit back and bask in my funny-ness. (Yes, that's a word.) I don't tell traditional jokes. I don't tell stories. Instead, I make witty, insightful remarks on a deep, thought-provoking level that some might refer to as 'high-brow humor.'
Here's an example from last week:
My children like playing 'Just Dance 3' on the Wii. One of the songs is called "Boogie Wonderland." While they were dancing to it, I started singing "Booger Wonderland."
My oldest daughter chuckled.
As if that wasn't enough, I started putting a finger up my nose and singing even louder ... "Booger Wonderland ... " No one laughed out loud, but a couple of kids smiled. A couple of others looked grossed out.
Like I said, I'm a funny guy. Witty. Insightful. High-brow.
This week, I took it to a whole new level. My wife and I were out driving near Lake Travis. We passed a dam. I pointed to it and said, "Damn!"
Yep. Funny.
My wife didn't laugh out loud, but I'm sure she was chuckling ... maybe even smiling really big on the inside.
Why? Cause I'm a funny guy. If you're lucky, you'll be around me the next time I make one of these humorous insights. I just hope you'll have your 'thinking-cap' on so you can keep up.
