NAR: share something funny

I am very sad, ladies. I figure we can all use a good laugh or a smile. I know I could. Does anyone have a joke or funny story to share?

Re: NAR: share something funny
Maybe a bit TMI, but I thought it was funny.
I developed a UTI this weekend. About 3 days after my mom did, 3000 miles away. Like mother like daughter.
When I told her I had a UTI, she said, "I know how I got mine, but I'm not sure I want to know how you got yours!"
All I could think of was my mom trying to purge the idea of DH and I--ahem--spending a romantic evening together
I already do feel better, thanks. I'm glad it made you smile.
I have one- Dh and I went to thai restaurant for the first time this weekend and DH was having trouble ordering ( he leads a very simple life, food wise) The waitress was helping him order and asked him like 3 times if he "wanted it spicy" he said yes each time and when the food came and he took his first bite his face turned bright red!
He kept eating because he said it was really good but his nose was running and he said his lips hurt it was so hot. When we got the bill she had underlined spicy like 3 times and it was then we understood why she kept asking-
He said she should have said "you like it spicy, Okayyyy" By the time we left I was ready to hide under the table with Dh blowing his nose after every bite and DD growling really loud ( it is her new trick, growling like a bear but she usually sounds more like a demon child)
Two things:
When I was in Denver last week I went out with all my closest girlfriends. I had one beer and then right before going to the dance floor I decided I needed to go the bathroom. I had never been to that particular bar and I didn't even bother reading signs, I just chose the bathroom to the right. When I walked in there was a GUY at the sink washing his hands. I turned beet red, did a 180 and turned to walk out just as another GUY was walking in. My girlfriends were all laughing at me as I managed to get out of the mens bathroom.
At the airport when we arrived back home an older woman came up to me to tell me how cute the kids were. I was tired and ready to be done, so when she asked if they were twins I thought the easiest answer would be yes. Boy was I wrong! I tell her yes and she says, 'How exciting! Here are my twins...although they are grown women now!' Oh, dear, these women are identical twins and here I am claiming my non-twins are twins. She proceeds to ask me if I knew I was having twins. I think to myself, nope, defnitely did not know I was having twins especially since I only pushed one of the babies out of me!! I tell her no and she tells me she didn't know either and then says 'it's quite a surprise isn't it?!?'....uh, yes, yes it is quite a surprise. She asks where Charlotte gets her beautiful hair from and I say that it reminds me of daddy's hair since it's dark and wavy...um, there is no way she actually got his hair! Lesson learned: Maybe my easy answer of 'yes they're twins' isn't as easy as I originally thought.
I knew I could count on you all! These are great. Maybe we should start sharing funny stories once a week. Funny Story Friday? Wackadoodle Wednesday? I don't know. Maybe we already have enough theme days, but I really enjoyed reading these.
Sally - I hope you enjoyed your time in Denver. There are a few Denver adoption nesties on this board. Next time you are here, we could have a mini GTG. The kiddos could play, and we could have drinks--as long as you promised to use the correct bathroom (lol).
This is an old story... DH and I were on our honeymoon which was a cruise. One of the islands we stopped at was off the coast of Venezuala where nobody really speaks English, and we are both terrible at foreign languages. We went on a "shopping" trip of local shopping areas (i.e. the mall
) and rather then try to get a restaurant to understand us we just stopped at McDonalds when we were hungry.
First, the 16 year old girl behind the counter pointed and laughed, bent over hysterical, at DH when he tried to order the food. Apparently, they do not order by # like we do here, or his accent is just that bad!
Then, we are sitting there eating and there is a couple sitting off to the side of our table. The woman leans slightly sideways and lets out the loudest fart I have ever heard in public
! and nobody else in the place even blinked! DH and I were laughing so hard we had to leave, there were tears running down my face. When we met up with the rest of the tour group we were still hysterical and this woman in her 60s asked what was so funny, and Dh repeats the story for her, while I am trying my hardest not to roll on the gound howling.
The retail store I worked at while in college sold laundry sets. I was helping a lady pick out which front-loading washer and dryer she wanted. We had this AMAZING deal on a set - exactly what this lady needed. It was literally close to a grand less than retail and she had come with a checklist of things she needed and it had everything.
But I could tell she wasn't happy. I asked her if there was something else that caught her eye or she was unhappy with the "perfect" washer and dryer.
She turns bright red and said, "I wouldn't normally admit this, but the door! I can't stand the door! See how the window on it is somewhat triangular? And how the rest of the machine is red? It just looks like a big vagina to me! Can you imagine, washing and drying your clothes in a big vagina everyday?!"
She ended up purchasing a similar, yet still lesser model for $800 more to avoid the vagina washer.
This is hilarious!
OMG. I am laughing so hard at this right now. I would have lost my mind!!! I don't know how you kept it together enough to walk out of there!!
