I'm Pathetic!

Today I came to the sad realization that I am really not funny.

I think I have always known this, but secretly never wanted to believe it. I find a lot of things funny... so why shouldn't I be funny when I retell the stories.

For starters, I am a horrible story teller. Enough said. More than that, I have a unique sense of humor so the things that I find funny are usually pretty dumb to begin with and then I ruin them even more with my horrible story telling ability.

I'm getting better the longer I hang around Matthew... I've learned to say things like (when getting hit on the arm) "hey, thats my good arm, I need that for arming!" but then I quickly get in trouble when people hit my fingers... Or I've learned the great way to end a story "and then I found five dollars." -- twenty dollars if your story really needs a boost. I find myself often "finding" twenty dollars. If only it were true--I could have paid for my ticket to Spain by now.

So in conclusion, I am working on learning when to shut up (which is probably almost all the time) and I will just let my roommates be the funny ones.

Speaking of funny- I am starting a house quote board... and here is what is on it so far.

Josh tells a story and laughs...
Monaca: I don't get it
Josh: I didn't get it either.... but I laughed!

Gerry: What are you doing?
Josh: Tempting your girlfriend

Monaca: I ran into Dulce at the mall yesterday!
Gerry: Did anyone get hurt?

There are a couple more, but out of context they are x-rated and you are too young to read them.

Man, if you made it this far in my post -- you are a true friend! Because this is the most ridiculous post yet...

My life is sad...

Don't worry Mon, I'm not funny either. And it would really help if I were, since I'm a pastor and a sermon always goes down easier if the pastor can make you laugh. Ah well...

But you're right, you do live with some hilariously funny people. Matt and Gerry and Josh all just knock me out with their humor sometimes.
