Picture it: it's late at night, say 2300 or midnight. Or something around there. Anyway, you're getting tired. And suddenly, you open your mouth and the words that come out are lame. Not only lame but--they're funny too.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I remember once, several years ago, my family and I were taking the annual trip from Vancouver (useless fact: I no longer live there) and we'd just hit Golden, where we were going to stop for the night (useless fact: Golden is a small town in the Rockies, in B.C., just before Kicking Horse Pass). Anyway, we were pulling up to the Husky House (trucker stop, mostly) and we drove across this road that had several big trucks strewn about. Suddenly, my brother opens his mouth and says, "That's only half a lane--see, it's a Semi lane." And, it being somewhat past midnight, the both of us found this extremely funny.
More recently (last Saturday), it was again about midnight. Anyway, we (my bother and I again) were watching some coverage of the Olympics. Specifically, diving. And then a thought popped into my head. I must have been really tired, and my defenses down, because the thought made me laugh for several minutes. Finally, I managed to choke out, (and peppered with liberal giggles), "I was just wondering if any of 'em"--referring to the divers (who were, by the way, wonderfully female)--"ever had the impulse to just run off the board, curl up in a ball and yell, 'CANNONBALL!'"
Simply pathetic. Luckily, I can't humiliate myself any further because I can't remember any more incidents.
