lady...
My comrade L* told me a story yesterday that made me laugh like a whooping crane.
Scene:
Beverly Hills store, dress section.
Cast:
Mother, son (age 4), salesgirl
Salesgirl: (snottiness directed at Mother, in attempt to make her feel insignificant)
Mother: (tries to deflect snottiness)
Son: ...Lady.
Son: I just farted.
dramatic pause
Son: In my pants.
end scene.
Now, it may not look that funny written down. But say it out loud, as though you're a 4-year-old boy, and work that dramatic pause. Adding "pants" to anything makes it funnier, don't you agree?
