A Strange Twist of Humour

As I mentioned in my intro, I have a twisted sense of humour. It tends to poke it's head up at the most inappropriate times too. Usually when I'm stressed or startled or scared. Luckily, I learned how to keep a filter between my brain and my mouth. Also my hands so even though most of what I type is free form from my brain there is still a filtering system in place.

But there are times when my sense of humour leads me to some interesting thoughts. Songs are a great source for this. I like some of the lines because they raise questions and comments.

For example, the song "Signs". It has this one line "Long haired freaky people need not apply" and my brain's response is this - so does that mean short haired freaky people can apply? Or long haired non-freaky people? What about mid-length hair, does it matter if you're freaky or not?

Another song, Meatloaf's "I Won't Do That" also leads itself to questions. He'll do anything for love but he won't do that. Won't do what? He lists all the things he'll do but not that. Stand on his head naked in a rainstorm while singing "Chantilly Lace"? Hopscotch his way across town? What won't he do?

Okay, in case you don't know the line refers back to the verse before it is sung where three things are listed, two good and the third something that he won't do - forget how she's feeling, etc. However, it isn't really clear with the way the song is worded. Which leads wonderfully to the questions.

My sense of humour comes into play with the things my brain comes up with for what he won't do. I can easily pass the time thinking up strange and twisted things that he won't do. Eat butterscotch and chocolate pudding at the same time. Wear plaid. Skip along the road singing "You Are My Sunshine". Wear a chain of daisies in his hair.

My mind can go on.

The problem with my sense of humour is that often I'm the only one who finds things funny. I can understand that. But there are times when my humour will match with someone else. And I find that my sense of humour matches well with other people's senses of humour, especially British comedies. Also I tend to have a sarcastic streak that teams up with the sense of humour.

At least I know that I get a lot of enjoyment from Life.
