Subject: RE: LAUGH OUT LOUD
Great thread, some very good lines.

I like real life situations that you can think about time and again, and get a chuckle. One of my favorites is from a book called "Ireland, a Bicycle and a Pennywhistle". The author toured Ireland by bicycle and attended many "sessions".

He describes a woman in one town who had invited two gentlemen to dinner. Knowing that the gentlemen had never met, she told the first one that the other one was a bit hard of hearing, and that he would have to speak very clearly and a bit loudly. Then she told the second gentleman that the first one was a bit odd. She then sat back and enjoyed the ensuing conversation.
