Humour

I'd reckon a humour forum is need, as, like they say, laughter is the best medicine. Any one have any good jokes or anecdotes that they want to share?

Re: Humour

@Appleblossom, I don't know that I've ever read Pygmalion, but I slightly remember seeing bits and pieces of My Fair Lady on the tv once when I was younger. I don't remember much about it except for Eliza's strange voice and the men training her to talk properly. The was an episode like that of the Nanny one time, where they tried to teach Fran to talk less 'nasal' so that she would fit in with the society ladies more, and she end up greeting one of the ladies by saying "how now, brown cow!"

Re: Humour

Yes thats the sort of thing .. I thought "The Nanny" was hilarious too .. but that was much later.

What I have found is that when things arent at high pressure life and death and we can laugh at stuff it kind of anchors me in my body and emotions. It stops me from disappearing into my head .. which I do an awful lot.

Re: Humour

I've got a joke:

The state of the mental health care system in Australia!

*ba-dum-tiss*

Nah, that wasn't a very funny one. Hmm. . .

What's brown & sticky?

A stick!

I can hear you all groaning over the lameness of that one from here! If you wanna really laugh, here's a couple of my favourite blogs that do come with the warning that you'll probably laugh out loud & embarass yourself while reading them in public. I certainly have! http://www.robot-hugs.com/ is laughs interspersed with feels, with some great mental health/gender non-binary/social justice, interspersed with some major feels trips. But I think it's awesome. The other blog is inactive due to the writer's battles with mental health issues at present - http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com.au/ The first posts you'll come across in the reverse-chronological order it follows are related to her battle with depression, but if you continue reading, you'll find yourself both laughing & crying while reading, & falling in love with Ali & her distinctive cartoons.
