What Makes Me Laugh
Thursday, March 12th, 2009
Laughter is good. We should all do more of it. That’s why I’ve decided to declare every Thursday, “Inappropriate Laughter Day.” Why inappropriate? That’s just my way of letting you know that most of the things that make me laugh-and therefore that you will find showcased on Inappropriate Laughter Day-are completely inappropriate.
I tend to like adolescent boy humor. I particularly like jokes about farting, body hair, and genitalia.
Today’s theme is genitalia. Take the word Vagina. It’s inherently funny. I bet you already laughed, just by reading the word. Try saying it out loud publicly. See what happens. Anyone who hears you will start to giggle, “Hee, hee, she said the word Vagina!”
Case in point: I have a friend who is a glass blower. One day he was trying to make a glass heart, but his creation didn’t quite turn out as planned. The heart was stretched out. It was just a tad too oblong. He showed it to me, and I said, “Well, it doesn’t look like a heart at all, but it definitely looks like a Vagina. I’d wear that!”
So he gave it to me. It has three dots on it and, as we all know, normal Vaginas only have one. I didn’t let that stop me. Whenever someone comments on the necklace, I say, “Isn’t it great? It’s my Bionic Vagina. I just love my Bionic Vagina.”
The word Penis, on the other hand, isn’t as laugh producing. I’m not sure why. It’s an ugly word, and perhaps that’s apt. Penises are not anywhere near as pretty as Vaginas. And they tend to do more harm than good. They probably deserve to be called something that doesn’t sound pretty.
Still, I hate saying the word Penis out loud. I usually refer to that entire region as, “Man Junk.”
Penises can be just as funny as Vaginas, though. Here are the three funniest things I’ve found about Penises this week.

What makes you laugh inappropriately? Send it to me to post on Inappropriate Laughter Day.
Tomorrow: Ask the Marriage Expert Day. I started this day about a month and a half ago. I’m bringing it back for good tomorrow. Stay tuned. The question is a good one, and I’ll need your collective help in order to answer it.
