Blogger Blues
I'm not a very good blogger. My buddy Nathan blogs about everything; I'm not that dedicated. There have been many times that I wished I could have a video of events that happened in my lifetime, this would be the ultimate blog in my opinion! Just imagine the opportunity to whip out a video of the funniest thing you ever saw in your life and share it with another person (or laugh as hard as you did when you first saw it). Often, the person you're describing this funny event to doesn't get the full picture of what happened because they have no way of seeing the full picture. Here's an example: My wife refuses to laugh at Marcel Ledbetter moving the piano, an old Jerry Clower tale. I've often wondered if she is from some other planet, but the fact of the matter just might be that her imagination isn't as good as mine to picture the whole piano moving/smashing event! Sure, most anybody will laugh seeing that piano drop out of that second story window; seeing Marcel shoot up in the air at the same (with a rope "wropped" around his arm) and then they will laugh harder when the piano hits the pavement and splinters into a thousand pieces. (Personally, I laugh everytime I hear the recording of Jerry Clower making the piano busting sound.) Then we would see Marcel eventually fall to the ground "in amongst all that busted pianer" thanks to gravity. But the punch-line of the whole story is when Marcel's assistant slaps him in the face, trying to see if Marcel is still alive, hollering "speak to me!" Marcel says (are you ready for this?) "Why should I speak to you? I...I passed you twice and you didn't say nothing!" Southern humor is the best; it's always obvious and simple! In conclusion, anyone that doesn't laugh at this should be checked out by a professional; not because you are nuts, but because your imagination needs help!
