Things That Make Me Laugh

Here's a recap of some recent funny events in my life. Thanks to everyone who unknowingly participated in this post.

Story 1

When my family was in town last weekend, my mom mentioned that she knew of a couple girls that she could see me dating. My sister, always one to know things like that (okay, I was curious too), convinced my mom to tell her who the girls were. They walked off and my mom shared.

They walked back, and Erin informed me, "Those girls are way too nice for you."

[Everyone pauses]. "Thanks, Erin," I replied. And we all laughed because it was funny.

Story 2

My double-boss (boss' boss) had some phone problems the other day. He told Chris, my boss, (the tech. director at the church) that his phone was acting up. Chris responded by slamming the phone to the table, screaming something along the lines of "stupid phone." Of course, everyone in the meeting was shocked, and they got a good laugh out of it.

Later that afternoon, Chris was replaying the scene for me (because it was funny), so he slammed the phone down on his desk. And we laughed again. That is, we laughed until he opened the phone and saw that the screen was oozing something and no longer worked. This was funny because he hadn't moved the phone numbers over to the new phone yet.

Chris ended it out by saying, "I guess we'll be going to the Sprint store tomorrow."

Note: everything worked out okay at the Sprint Store and the phone numbers were saved!

Story 3

This one would take forever to write out, so I'm going to give you the basics: It's funny when you mix the double-boss, an old cell phone, some interesting ring-tones, and a well-timed hint.

The result is a sweating, heart-palpitating co-worker who was scared out of his mind. Although, I now wonder when the revenge will come.
