I dreamt last night that when I woke up President Trump would be on the television saying “April Fools!”<\/p>\n
Uhh that didn’t happen.<\/p>\n
The Corona virus is still with us. We’re still locked down and sadly April Fools appears to have been canceled.<\/p>\n
That SUCKS! If there was ever a time for humor it’s now.<\/p>\n
We need humor especially in hard times. It helps us cope, and I think even grounds us.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s just something about how I was raised. My family appreciated “Gallows Humor” we have a dark sense of funny.<\/p>\n
We’re the folks on the Titanic who’d say “The band was nice, until they lost the violins…”<\/p>\n
I’m the guy that looks at my burned house and observes, “It looks like Atlanta after Sherman.”<\/p>\n
We’re the folks that appreciate the old comment, “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, How was the play?”<\/p>\n
I’m not suggesting that we should be joking about deaths or people who are sick.<\/p>\n
What I am suggesting is that we shouldn’t lose our sense of humor during this, or any crisis.<\/p>\n
Losing our sense of humor is, in my humble opinion losing a part of our humanity.<\/p>\n
In an attempt to lighten the day I submit this…<\/p>\n
\nKnock Knock<\/p>\n
Who’s there?<\/p>\n
Wuhan you like to know?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I NEVER said I was a comedian!<\/p>\n
My point is we need to laugh. More so, when things are shitty and scary.<\/p>\n
So I encourage everyone to joke, & laugh, even if those jokes aren’t P.C.<\/p>\n
After weeks of doom and gloom and talking heads telling us we’re all gonna die or telling us who’s to blame. We need something to tickle our funny bone.<\/p>\n
It’s not meant to minimize the severity, but humans have always spit in the face of doom.<\/p>\n
It’s our nature. <\/p>\n
Let’s have just one day where we celebrate silliness and break the tension with bawdy in your face jokes.<\/p>\n
Come on New York, I know it’s bad right now. You guys are the best at flipping the bird at everything! Regale us with some of that “Up Yours!” edginess we love you for.<\/p>\n
Folks in the Southern states fire away with your trademark dry double edged wit.<\/p>\n
Let’s make the Thought Police loose their minds and make no apology for it.<\/p>\n
Anyone is encouraged to add jokes in the comments.<\/p>\n
Be safe and remember to laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
