Dating: No laughter, no love
It has been a long week, people. From earthquakes, hurricanes, sad and heartbreaking headlines, the one thing that really can be the best medicine is laughter. I’ll be honest, dudes with no sense of humor don’t fare well with me. I am pretty sure I’m not the bee’s knees for them, either.
I have this theory that people who lack a sense of humor probably have something to hide. I have no scientific evidence of this, mind you. I just don’t trust people that don’t laugh. Have you ever tried to go on a date with a humorless individual? It’s like sitting in the dentist’s chair, only not as messy.
Do you rank great sense of humor as an important thing or are you fine with being the comic relief in a relationship?
Have you ever been on a date with someone and you laughed the entire time?
Blog prize awarded to the funniest story/joke/comment of the day. You guys decide the winner.
We all can use a little humor these days, don’t you agree?
Happy FUN Friday everyone!

Having a sense of humor is a must in my relationships of any kind but not at the expense of another person though, even though it’s kind of hard to get around that sometimes. I don’t care for the dark humor or the ill fated satire either. Just good ol fashion jokes/comments and just the right dose because being with a jokester can really be a turn off too.
I’ve been on a date with a guy who had not one ounce of sense of humor, and yes Wise it was like being in the dentist chair minus the messy mess.

Good morning!!
I could post this with invisible ink because all know how I feel. Laughter is crucial for me. Can’t take life seriously all the time. You need to have a sense of humor simply to get “thru.” It’s especially cool when you can laugh at yourself. Being serious all the time can only lead to indigestion and a bad case of crankiness. Too many comical events are taken place in life for one to walk the plank of “stuck up” and not take notice. LAUGH, LAUGH, AND LAUGH SOME MORE….

I don’t get along very well with people that don’t have a sense of humor. A good sense of humor is definitely a requirement for whomever I am dating. I enjoy someone who can be silly and joke around, and my sense of humor tends to be on the sarcastic side. I like making puns and saying funny things. I tend to get along best with someone who enjoys the same. They also have to be able to be serious when needed though. Someone who jokes all the time is too much. They need to have a good balance.
Luckily I have met someone who is very similar to me in that regards and we get along wonderfully. Our humor is one of the many things we have in common. I love to laugh and to make others laugh. For me, humor is an important part of a relationship.

I’ll first start by saying Howdy Doody
I don’t even think I have to really answer the question for the bloggers that know me. I’m pretty certain you all know a sense of humor is a REQUIREMENT for me in dating because i’m simply a nutcase. I love it when a guy can be as witty as me and throw the jokes back. Some of my greatest memories consists of ones where me & whoever I was with at the time, laughed until we didn’t even breathe anymore…the laughs that leave you feeling like you just did 50 sit ups. Humor & the ability to laugh through some of life’s curveballs makes me who i am today.

Good morning all – now this is right up my alley. Laughter is essential. Especially if you can laugh at yourself. I think a woman with a goofy sense of humor is very attractive. It lightens the mood. It can defuse a tense situation. In a strange way it can even reveal the intellect of an individual.
I’m still waiting for my open mic night opportunity at the comedy club.

Good morning, all!
I’ll keep it brief, bc I am busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest this morning.
To quote Charlie Chaplin (who paraphrased ee cummings) “A day without laughter is a day wasted.” Laughter and a witty, sometimes goofy sense of humor are essential for me. Being with someone who is super serious all the time, or who doesn’t get your jokes……yeah, that gets REAL old, REAL fast.

Oh To Be 12 Again…
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror.
Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she’d like to have for her Birthday.
‘I’d like to be twelve again’, she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Alton Towers theme park.
What a day!
He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Corkscrew, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park.
Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
He then took her to a Mc Donald’s where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake..
Then it was off to the cinema with popcorn, a huge Cola, and her favourite sweets……M&M’s.
What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, ‘Well Dear, what was it like being twelve again?’
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
‘I meant my dress size, you retard!!!!’
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
Just to show you how open-minded I am

Morning folks,
Sense of humor…absolutely. I tend to be quick on the turn so most folks don’t know I have a very humorous side. Yep, I do. I can get down and laugh with the best of them. When folks do see me, they’re like you are so silly

Morning All, Happy Friday and all that!
I don’t care for people that don’t have a healthy sense of humor. Serious people have their place, but not in my personal life. And yes, there is a difference between one who is witty and one who is just silly and stupid. Those that put others down and then try to cover it up by saying they were joking.
But having quick wit, being able to laugh at oneself and not be a buzzkill is a must to be my mate and my friend. Just is.

2 guys went bear hunting. Driving out to the woods, when they were almost there, they passed a road sign that said ‘Bear Left’, so they turned around and went home.
They were out hunting the next weekend, and they came upon a beautiful blonde in a meadow. “You game?” they asked, to which she replied, “Sure!”. So they shot her.

How to Solve a MidLife Crisis
AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, “Darling, 44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GIRL. NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I’M SLEEPING WITH A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU’RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS.”
MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
~
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50
feet behind the first one.
~
Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash.
~
Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
~
The man couldn’t stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, ‘I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?’
~
‘My wife’s.
~
”What happened to her?’
~
The man replied, ‘My dog attacked and killed her’
~
He inquired further, ‘But who is in the second hearse?’
~
The man answered, ‘My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.’
~
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two men.
~
‘Can I borrow the dog?’
~
The man replied, ‘Get in line.’

Little Johnny at School:
A kindergarten teacher was having her class study the five senses. On this particular day they were learning about the sense of taste. She instructed the class to close their eyes and she gave each student a cherry lifesaver. She had the children taste the lifesaver and try to guess the flavor. The students anxiously raised their hands and when the teacher called on little Susie she correctly guessed the flavor. “Tomorrow,” the teacher said, “we’re going to do this again, but I’m going to try to trick you.”
So the next day the teacher went through the same routine with her class, only this time the life saver was honey flavored. After tasting the life saver, no one raised their hand to report it’s flavor. “Okay.” said the teacher, “I’ll give you a hint. It’s something your mommy calls your daddy.”
Little Johnny in the back of the room yells, “Phew, spit it out! It’s an a$shole!”

I believe we have had this topic, but talking with a gf, I wonder “How far would you go to get the attention of your partner?” I sat in
when she told me what she did just 2 months ago. She felt her man was ignoring her, as well as stepping out on her. He wasn’t answering his phone so she drove over there in her pjs 2:00 AM! She noticed a car parked next to his that never used to be there (WTH). Anyway, he wouldn’t answer the door nor his phone. She positioned her car so she blocked both his and the other car in. I want to sit their with mouth wide opened, but I believe my eyes are speaking volumes. Anyway, 4 HOURS LATER, yep 4 HOURS LATER, he looks out and sees her blocking the 2 cars. He comes outside and bangs on her window asking “WTF are you doing out here?” She starts the accusations, the hands on hips stance, etc. By this time, I believe my eyes have become bucked. He laughs and makes her come into the house so a further scene isn’t witnessed. He tells her he took a sleeping pill the night before, he has no idea who the car is that’s parked next to his and before you know it, they’re making love before he leaves for work.
I was dumbfounded at her actions up to and including winding up in bed. All I could say to her is “I can’t believe you did all that.” I said it twice. The next thing I said, is “chile you have to really work on your insecurities.” She agreed. I took a big gulp of my margarita hopefully giving me a chance to change the look of bewilderment on my face!

Ok so I was asked out by this woman a few years ago and I said yes. She offered to take me to dinner and asked what type of place I would like to go to…I told here any place casual. I don’t like being at some high end stuffy place unless there is a reason. She actually picked me up for the date and I was dressed in jeans and a nice shirt. She then proceeds to take me to this unbelievably high end restaurant. Being the type of guy I am I just went with the flow and dealt with it. Keep in mind this was back when smoking was allowed in restaurants. So when the hostess approached and asked me if we wanted a smoking or non-smoking table…I replied…”Honey, the only time I smoke is when I drag my a$$ across the carpet.” The hostess laughed her butt off but my date was horrified and embarassed. Any other guy would have been upset that she did exactly what I asked her not to do…instead I made a joke. Needless to say that was a first and last date…I had more fun chatting with the waitress than my date. And I didn’t start doing that until there was that incredibly awkward 15 minutes with almost no conversation. So ladies…you need to lighten up a bit and learn to have some fun. Stop being so worried what others will think. While my joke may have been off-color…I had specifically asked for casual and low key…so I made the best of it and laughed at the stupidity of my date.
Humor is incredibly important and I’m the kinda guy who will say things just to make your mouth drop open in shock…whatever pops into my head will pop out of my mouth. I have no filter between my brain and my mouth…if you can’t handle it…then move on. I want the same quality in a date…we can go through life laughing at all the people around us who are constantly stunned…LOL.
Life is just too damn short to not laugh each and everyday. My mother taught me that throughout my entire life and I cherish that the most when thinking about my mothers life. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and given a year to live, she passed away 13 month later and not once did she ever complain and not a single day went by where she wasn’t smiling and making others laugh. She will forever by my hero. I only hope when my time comes I can be as brave and strong as she was and never forget to live each day like it was your last. So come on folks…lighten up and enjoy.

How To Handle a Husband
A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. “What a peaceful & loving couple”. The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
“Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America,” explained the man.
“We visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by horse. We hadn’t gone too far when my wife’s horse stumbled and she almost fell off.
My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said,” That’s once.”
“We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again, this time causing her to drop her water. Once more my wife quietly said, “That’s twice.”
We hadn’t gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for a third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead.
I shouted at her, “What ’s wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that? Are you crazy??”
She looked at me, and quietly said, “That’s once.”
“And from that moment… we have lived happily ever after.”

An atheist was walking through the woods, thinking to himself, “How beautiful the animals are!” “How majestic the trees are!” “How powerful the rivers are!” As he walked along the river, he heard rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned and saw an 8-foot grizzly bear charging towards him. He ran along the path as fast as he could, but when he looked over his shoulder, he saw that the bear was closing in on him. He kept running, but when he looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. Then he tripped and fell on the ground. The bear was right on top of him with his right paw raised to strike him. At that instant, the atheist cried, “God help me!” Time Stopped.
The bear froze. The forest was silent. A bright light shone upon the man and a voice from the sky said, “You’ve denied my existence for all these years and have taught others that I don’t exist. You’ve even credited creation to a cosmic accident. Why would you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Are you now a believer?” The atheist looked into the light and said, “Well, I would be hypocrite to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but could you, maybe, make the BEAR a Christian?” “Very Well,” said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. The bear lowered his right paw and brought both paws together. He bowed his head, and said: “Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive from Your bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.”

A little girl, dresses in her “Sunday best” was late and running to her Sunday school class. As she ran, she prayed, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late. Dear God, please don’t let me be late.” Then she fell.
She got up, dusted her self off and saw that her dress was now dirty and had a little tear. She started running again, still praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late.” But this time she added, “But please don’t push me, either!”

Susie’s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.
“You know” he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, “you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. “And you know what?”
“What, dear?” she asked gently, smiling to herself. “I think you’re bad luck.”

Into the Light…my mother was a hoot. She was always the life of the party right up until she passed away at 71. She smoked like a freight train, cussed like a sailor and told dirty jokes that would make a Marine blush. While she wasn’t a “traditional” mother, not only did everyone of her kids absolutely cherish her, but she was the cool mom that all my friends wanted. Three weeks before she passed away I went to play BINGO with her (her favorite) and when I won $25 she stuck her tongue out at me and gave me the bird…LOL…which is exactly the type of person she was. Thanksfully someone snapped a picture of that so I will have that hysterical moment forever. While some people were offended by her, and there were times when she would embarrass the crap out of us kids, I wouldn’t change one single moment. My mother grew up well below the poverty level in a house with dirt floors, no running water or electricity and 13 brothers and sisters. I think back on her life and truly believe that very few people would have come through that and had the same attitude she did…she was an incredible woman who will never be forgotten.
So again I say to all of you…please take a deep breath…look around you and take stock of what you really have…not your house, car or clothes, but the people around you that make your life worth living. Cherish them and enjoy them and never let a day go by where you don’t make it your mission to bring a smile to someones face. I know my mother left this world without a single regret and I only hope I can do the same.

Two well worn bills arrived at the Federal Reserve Bank to be retired – a twenty and a one. As they traveled down the conveyor belt, they struck up a conversation. The twenty reminisced about the interesting life he had, traveling all over the country. “I’ve been to the finest restaurants, Broadway shows, Las Vegas , Atlantic City ,” he said. “I even want on a Caribbean cruise. Where have you been?”
“Oh,” said the one dollar bill, “I’ve been to the Methodist church, the Episcopal church, the Lutheran church.”
“What’s a church?” asked the twenty.

I disagree, PR, that it’s the same as asking a man if it’s his time out with a woman.
Interracial dating is frought with a lot of uncertainities and both must be on the same page in wanting to really do this. I would imagine the comfort level may be different as opposed to someone who’s been doing this for a few years as oppossed to determining if you want to date someone doing it the first time.

CZ – I’m knee deep in Spring/Summer 2012 vacation discussion with the Wifey. She soooo wants to go to Panama. She has convinced the kids as well.I’m not so sure and don’t have a reason why (nothing negative). Unless I come up with somewhere better in the next few days I’ll be S.O.L.

That’s usually my first response, too, PR. To me, asking seems like I’m going out of my way to make an issue or a point about something. I find that dating history has a way of working its way into the conversation naturally.

It’s raining…really, really hard and my man just got back from Bermuda on business. I got home a little early took a loong shower and prepared his favorite meal: A juicy steak(medium to well), a nice busy salad and a baked potatoe the size of a football. I laid some comfortable clothes out for him to change in to after he’d showered and lit white candles all over the house…while Miles Davis and Charlie Parker played in the background.
I heard his key in the door and my heart nearly leapt out my chest with exitement. When he opened the door I met him there in a special outfit I got courtesy of Victoria(but tonight it ain’t a Secret)…and all he could do was smile ear to ear as he took in all that stood before him…we hugged and kissed for what felt like an eternity and I could feel him swell with anticipation and excitement. I sauntered towards the bedroom while slowly gazing at him with a come get me,daddy look on my face and he followed suit. “I wanna taste you“, he said while easing my Vickies down with intent and purpose. His tongue sent shivers up and down my spine until I couldn’t take it anymore…so that’s when I….

If you are with someone of the same race do you ask if they have ever dated outside of theri race before? I know od some people who won’t date someone if they know that they have dated outside of their race.

Purp – which club?
I’m not a big joke person but Here’s one that made me laugh;
There is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls.
We’ve all heard about people having Guts or Balls, but do you really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed, here is the difference:
GUTS – Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by
your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: ‘Are you still cleaning,
or are you just flying somewhere?’
BALLS – Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of
perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt
and having the Balls to say: ‘You’re next, Chubby.’
I hope this clears up any confusion on the distinction.
Medically speaking there is no difference.
Both result in death.

PR – I know…just not a breakfast person. If I eat breakfast, as in a full breakfast I can’t do nothing after that. It makes me too full and lazy. I’m not a big meat eater either. Usually I want a slice of cheese toast, hashbrowns and coffee or a slice of cheese toast and maybe a small pork link, or eggs and hashbrowns. The oatmeal in my building is about the best I’ve had but I have to recover from the heartburn it incites so I usually keep away. Pancakes and waffles and eggs and grits and toast and hashbrowns…way too much. When we have breakfast out, I’ll have a half order of french toast, hashbrowns and coffee. I’m might talk alot about snaking but I’m really not a big eater.

Metabolism is like a fire, food is like the wood, n exercise is like gasoline. If u eat one huge meal once a day u can smother the fire with to much wood and not burn efficiently. But if u eat small healthy meals throughout the day you will give ur fire just enuugh wood to keep the fire burning strong.

I can do something everyday if it’s light but not a full course meal. I had an egg white omelet at the recommendation of my coworker….he eats one everyday. It was YUCK. Given it was my first, I should have had very little spinach added, a few sprinkles of shredded cheese, onion and peppers. The chef downstair put about a bag of spinach in it and really I found myself “crunching” leaves….ut uh. I think I’ll try it again maybe next week. Just make sure it’s done to my liking.

I love egg white omelets. And egg whites are probably the purest source of protein.
You can also make yourself a fritatta, Celisea, and then just heat it up for breakfast. That way, it’s cooked the way you like with ingredients you like.
