Share the Last Cookie

I never was a big Sesame Street kid. I preferred Mr. Rogers odd world to the eclectic land of Big Bird. But even I could not help but love Cookie Monster. There is just something beautiful in a creature whose diet consists solely of deliciousness. He must also have the world's best metabolism as he does not appear to ever gain a pound.

Enough about the creature himself. His words are what make for today's hum

or. They do not do it in fancy terms but in the ever amusing way of Cookie Monster. How better to express a friendship than in sharing what you love with someone you care for?

Humor Goes Beyond the Grave

I find myself laughing at people with such a sense of humor about something most of us tiptoe around. Of course there are always those who will sniff at the outrageous idea of messing with the seriousness of death. Personally I have no problem with it. You are the only one who will experience your own death. Make of it what you will. 


1. "I told you I was Sick...BASTARDS!"

When I first became sick this would have been my 
 tombstone of choice against the first useless doctor. The vindictive part of me would hope he got a good look. Maybe put his name in parentheses next to bastard. I'm beyond such anger now especially since he has come to recognize his very big mistake. I'm sure all those 'bastards' feel just as stupid now. If not, this person has found a sure way to remind them.

2. Humorous and a Bit on the Disturbing Side

 

When I started reading this tombstone I was not quite sure where it was going. Passion? Check. Loves Horses? Okay. Women? Okay. Then make me into a saddle? WHAT? Thankfully the last line brings it all together in a slightly perverted humorous way. This man was clearly one of a kind.

 3. Expired Parking.
They explain it best.

4. "I like big bucks..and I cannot lie."

 This man went to the grave being honest about what he loved to do. I laughed too because of the way it is written. My own family would be horrified at the idea of doing such a thing but I believe this man is brilliant. He doesn't let death stop him from letting others know about his passion.

 5. Atheist. All Dressed Up. Nowhere to Go.

This epitaph says one of the many parts of humor I find in atheism and death. Because when you die and you're an atheist then you truly are dressed up with nowhere to go. 

6. "SPANKS" 

There's a part of me which always secretly wishes I had a name which could be amusing. If I did I am sure one of my siblings would do something slightly sneaky to my tombstone. Perhaps the SPANKS never saw the humor in this. Maybe they would be horrified at seeing their tombstone in such a way. I want to let them know (wherever you are) you made my day just a bit brighter without having said a word.

 7. Nothing Like the Obvious

  
Getting laid to rest in the cemetery usually implies you are dead. But why not make sure everyone knows for sure? Literally spell it out for them: D-E-A-D in huge letters.

 8. Knock Knock Jokes Literally From the Grave

I never was a knock knock joke person but this grave has given me a whole new insight into their potential. What a way to skip the typical phrases and uniquely tell the world you love someone.

9."Got Coffee Lord?"

I don't know if this is meant to be a Spaceballs reference (I apologize if offense is taken at that possibility). The point is not where the words came from, unless they happened to be a serious serious fan. Regardless I laughed. Kudos to you for sharing what you love.

10. Isn't it Ironic?

I am sure there are people who see this picture and don't find a humourous thing about it. Ah. Irony is not for everyone. As for me I spot a brilliant work. I would use this funeral home just so people would find the humorous irony.

'THAT AWKWARD MOMENT' (Best Wishes on a New Semester!)

In honor of my sister's new semester I thought this was an appropriate laugh for today. For a lot of students 'that awkward moment' is cause for tears. Lots of tears and lots of snot. Ew.

Then there are those of us, like myself, who take 'that awkward moment' to new heights (or lows if you prefer). We sit there completely lost and out slips a giggle. Then a little bit of laughter we attempt to hide behind our hands.

Suddenly we are just staring at the blank test in front of us and laughing. Laughing because we are definitely screwed and like so many crappy life situations, you have to laugh or cry. So we laugh and laugh. Then we get told to leave for laughing like an idiot.

Looking at this makes me laugh in total relief. I haven't had to face 'that awkward moment' in years. May this semester never be filled with test moments like this for my little sister. But if 'that awkward moment' does appear then I hope she faces it with laughter and not snotty tears.

A Freaking Fish Just Touched Me!

I know people who have this EXACT reaction when it comes to a fish 'touching' them. They literally go jumping out of the water when 90% of the time it was aquatic foliage NOT a fish they touched.

The best part is thinking of how the fish must feel in this scenario. You are swimming around minding your own business when this leg appears in front of your face. I know, if it were me, I would get the heck out of there.

Don't flatter yourself, I say. Most fish do not care enough about you to want to go around 'touching' you. Actually, it sounds a bit perverted that way which really does make me laugh all over again. 

The Tiniest Joke. The Biggest Laugh of Today.

I laughed and then laughed all over again when I attempted to explain just what was so funny about this little gem. For those who have an understanding of science basics you know what I am talking about. Hopefully, you find it as funny as I do. For the science humor newbies, o gosh, I am going to give it my all of a quick yet not completely brain-numbing explanation.

In the picture are two atoms. If you know a little something about atoms then you know when an atom has equal number of electrons and protons it holds a charge of zero. So if the atom, in this scenario, loses an electron it will become 'positive.' Get it? Are you positive?

When Making Gingerbread Houses....Reality is Just to Funny

My aunt decided to bring back the 'gingerbread house' Thanksgiving tradition. You would assume being in your twenties makes you a gingerbread master. Not so. I laughed so hard at this because it just about sums up this year's skills.

The only thing missing is my older sister's firm guided belief at being able to make a tree out of three tootsie-rolls and half a can of green frosting. I tried pointing out it really was not feasible to do so. The end result was disturbingly hilarious. Probably the best thing ever created with stale Halloween candy and family creativity. Ah. The holidays. Always a good time to find something to laugh about!

Pass the Butter. Time to Lubricate My Arteries and Veins!

I know I am lactose-intolerant, butter is typically no friend of mine, but today I found it downright hilarious. Perhaps it's the innocent looking boy or simply his meal consisting entirely of butter in different sizes which take a funny tip to being laugh worthy.

Ah. The world makes sense again!

Laugh I did. After hearing about 'eat this,' 'don't eat that', 'last week this was good for you, now it's not' I think it is about time we all had a laugh. The biology lover in me is pointing out precisely what, at a biochemistry level, makes butter just what it is. The pre-med student is going 'tsk tsk' to the whole scenario. While the crazy humor side is saying now that is a funny as hell way to look at this! 

For future use: next time someone asks if I can have a bit of 'butter' I now have a reply. 'I would love some butter! It's been a while since I lubricated those arteries and veins of mine!' We shall see what they have to say!
