PIA

Fortunately I spend a lot of time alone. This way when I find something really amusing and I start laughing to myself or at myself, no one is there to view me as a lunatic. It happens pretty often. Sometimes if I am driving I have to pull over until I can get a grip.

Unfortunately, when I am with people I have to stifle my laughter because most times the things I laugh at are so bizarre that I wouldn’t want to explain to people exactly what was amusing me. If I did explain my laughter and thoughts I’d find myself alone more often, which could be a good thing I suppose.

This morning I was fortunately alone when I got to laughing about the phrase, “pain in the ass.” How often have you heard this phrase? Probably several times a day, but if you think about it, it is a pretty funny thing to say. Though I’m sure that having a pain in ones’ ass must be a miserable thing, it perfectly describes people and external situations quite well. It isn’t terminal, just inconvenient. It’s a pain in the ass and that says it all, even the comedy of it says it all in a funny way.
