I was listening to Wait Wait...That's so funny!<br /><br />I was listening to Wait Wait while walking a popular loop in the hills. Just as I was passing a group of women, Paula Poundstone said something that had me laughing out loud. The women looked at me funny, and I realized I kinda knew one of them. Aw, damn. <br /><br />I only listen to it in private now.

Although it is usually me in a movie theater laughing at jokes that may or may not have been intended. <br /><br />They'll look at me and I'll be all like, "yeah, but Bullwinkle was a metaphor for the cold war, OMG, this is hilarious!"<br /><br />Then I'll sit stone-cold through the crowd-pleasers. <br /><br />Ima such a nerd.

So I read the limerick out loud to him. He completed it with "Romney" with not one second of pause. When I started laughing again, he seriously did not even get the joke. He was like, "But that's the answer." This is why I love my dad.GillyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622344092774777709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-72218511567761308022012-09-13T12:06:00.934-04:002012-09-13T12:06:00.934-04:00This happens to me more often than I'd like to...This happens to me more often than I'd like to admit. I've had strangers move away from me because I'm hunched over my phone reading Twitter or a funny blog, and can't control myself.

Except I'm usually set off by remembering something funny that happened to me days ago, which looks even crazier. <br /><br />I love Wait Wait Don't Tell Me so much, even though I never get to listen to it (no car means no radio, sniff.) I didn't realize there was a podcast, though!

I was reading MAD Magazine, and I came across something so funny it had me doubled up and crying, and while I was struggling to get a grip, the guy beside me murmurred, "Trade you," and that set me off again. <br /><br />Think of it as providing entertainment for everyone else in the car. :-)Jane Lebakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851954297667846546noreply@blogger.com
