I don’t know if anyone else can crack themselves up the way I can. Personally, all I have to do is sing C is for Cookie. I can do this quietly, sotto voce, and I’m a goner. I keel over with the giggles. Out loud is just about devastating.
My Cookie Monster imitiation is very good. I can’t do many imitations: I got Cookie, Ernie, and Marvin the Martian, and that’s it. But my Cookie kicks some serious Muppet ass.
Anyway, I crack me up.
Also, I like doing coffee riffs. I’ve been coffee-seeking in my Cookie voice for like twenty years. “Coffee. Me. Wants. Coffee.” Okay, you kinda have to be there. So Friday I was singing C is for Coffee (that’s good enough for me OH! Coffee coffee coffee starts with C). Cracked myself up. Also I was doing the Flying Lizards (I want coffee! Oooh. Ooh ooh. That’s what I want. Ooh.)
In the past, I had a distinct fondness for Bow Wow Wow (I want coffee!). I didn’t actually do this one Friday, I didn’t even think of it until I started writing, but anyway, it’s in the repetoire.
Now, my ex thought I was perhaps too easily amused and used to make fun of me for cracking myself up.
So I will throw this open to the masses. How do you crack yourself up? Or, am I just weird?
