Things that make you stop and laugh

Posted by Sheylara

I was at Jack’s Place last night when I overheard this dialogue at the next table where a man and his date were dining:

Waitress: Your order, please?

Man: Yes. Can you give me two spring chickens… but, er…*slight pause*… change one of them to baked potato.

The Goonfather and I couldn’t stop laughing. (Very quietly.)

We were still laughing about it 4 hours later, after dinner, after catching a play, on our way home.

I think it’s extremely sad that I had to pause and rethink on the sentence before getting the joke. Such is our existence and butchery of the language.

Budden hor, we also bery cute one mah.

I’m happy at least one person gets it. Haha. But you’re right. Sometimes we bery cute! ;)

Is it considered cognitive dissonance if, for example, I don’t like this person because he’s very irritating and I’m always thinking unkind thoughts about him although I don’t show it outwardly and just try to avoid him, but then he goes and does a nice thing like send me flowers when I’m sick, causing me to feel majorly guilty and wondering if I should try to stop disliking him?
I love this song.

Her Name is Alice (soundtrack from Alice in Wonderland)

(Click for YouTube video.)

I told my singing teacher I seldom listen to music because the songs I like (usually melancholic melodies) depress me. Yet, I can’t stop playing this track over and over.
I had a conversation with myself this morning when the alarm woke me up at 10 am. (Another vain attempt to normalise my bio clock.)

“Sleepy. Wanna sleep somemore. Zzz.”

“Ooh but 10am. Can order Macs breakfast!”

“Do I feel like eating Macs breakfast today?”

“Hotcakes and sausages!”

“I think I feel more like a Big Mac and fries.”

“Ok fine go back to sleep.”
Yay! Just found Jolly Shandy Lychee (which is rarer than Peach) at Cold Storage. Love! Jolly Shandy makes me jolly! =)
