Dave: Did you notice that right after you got gas for the car the garage smelled like a gas station?
Me: Yes I did, and it makes me want to leave the car outside for a while so the odor will fade.
Dave: There is no need for that, it doesn’t do any harm.
Me: Maybe not, but it makes me hesitant to light up a cigarette in there.
Dave: That shouldn’t be a problem because of the ‘No smoking’ sign I have up.
The funny thing; neither of us smoke.
Do you and your significant other ever have meaningless conversations? Or maybe a humorous thing happened in your day that was out of your control?
Just as this picture I’m sharing with you today. We don’t have an airplane or a hangar to put one in if we did. Our sign serves no other purpose than it brings fond memories of when Dave was in the military, working on aircraft.
That is what humorous moments do; they provide fond memories of light-heartedness. We all need those from time to time.
Even Jesus. Would you believe he has a sense of humor? My life is a witness that he does. In my book, One Day Wonders, Ordinary Days Becoming Extraordinary I share several instances.
One of my favorites is a past declaration that I would never live in an inconvenient to-get to home. Like the one I now reside in. Returning home, I must pass home to get to the street to turn in. That street takes me to the street where my house sits, hence, another turn. It’s a trivial first world issue.
Another down side is the fact we are a cookie cutter neighborhood. Never a good idea if you have young children trying to find their way home when they all look alike. Not that we have that issue, we are a community of senior citizens. My point is, it’s not good for us either; we carry some age behind us and can get turned around just trying to take a walk for exercise!
You see, humor is everywhere. All we have to do is look around us. I would love to hear from you on your funny moments. Please make it clean. I probably would not understand anything suggestive and would hate to have to ask Dave for an explanation. He was in the Navy so he knows things that are better left unsaid.
That may sound like a shot at the Navy, but not so, I’ve never been in the Army. See what I mean?
