Make Me Laugh Monday
Google Analytics is one of my all-time favorite inventions. Right up there with blow-dryers and freezer waffles. Whenever I feel sort of blah I just log on to play a little game I like to call 'what weird searches are leading people to my blog'?
I'm rarely disappointed.
First of all, it's clear that I'm becoming the leading source of random banana information (or misinformation, actually) on the world wide web. And the stuff people want to know about bananas? It doesn't give me much hope for the future of our species, to be honest.
And let me assure you, every single one of these search queries is totally real and NOT MADE UP. I copied them straight out of Google Analytics, misspellings and all.
10 things you want to know about banana
Fortunately, we have the google searches to answer this one…
are bananas hairy
No.
are bananas fattening
Like, how many bananas are we talking about eating here?
are bananas bad for your teeth
really? You’re worried about THAT? Get a life, seriously.
are brown spots on bananas contagious?
Yeah, I think so. I knew this lady who caught them and she turned spotted all over. Be afraid… be very afraid.
is it ok to rub banana on facial skin every day?
But WHY would you want to?
can you feed your tropical fish bananas
Ok, seriously, WHY?!
do bananas make you poop?
Let me give you the quickie primer on how the body works. You eat something; then you poop. Pretty simple, actually.
bananas make boobs big?
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
how do they put stickers on bananas
Let’s see, how do I say this… they stick ‘em onto the banana. Next?
how do you know when bananas have gone bad
they shave stripes into their eyebrows, get a tattoo, and start carrying a gun.
bad things about being a banana
well, there’s the brown spots. And the being eaten. And the truth is, bananas get blamed for a whole lot of weird stuff. Take the following queries, for example.
banana causes double chins
no, eating too much causes double chins. I’m just saying…
do bananas cause gas
is there anything that DOESN’T cause gas? Or is that just my own personal problem?
banana beauty tips
Well, supposedly you rub them on your FACIAL SKIN. And they make your boobs big. But be careful of the brown spots… I hear they’re contagious.
good bananas gone bad
I’m thinking this is the next major Pixar film. Am I right?
things to make with old bananas
Honestly I can think of way more things NOT to make with old bananas.
Then there are the other non-banana but still really weird searches. I try to envision the people who type this stuff in and I just CAN’T. Take, for example…
what is that heavy feeling near my heart
mmm... gas?
you dont even know about jelly
aww! That’s just MEAN!
"giving him a piggyback ride"
"Sure you were"
hairy all over
I think you're actually looking for my brother-in-law's blog...
"nerves causes gas"
Everything. I’m telling you… everything causes gas!
have another banana
thanks, I think i will
best butt award
aw! That’s just sweet!
big butt award
Ok, Not Funny.
big butt blog
Hey! Stop it already!
big butt lover blog
Well, I guess if you’ve got it you’ve gotta learn to love it, right?
is your butt big or are you just fat
Does it matter, really?
well my actually doctor tells me it’s a penguicula
chicken poopy butt
CJ? Is that you?
cute names for penis
I dunno… maybe 'happy' or 'cuddles'? This one scares me just a little.
gas-x where does the gas go
The age-old question.
how can you shrink your head size
drugs?
how do I get my five year old son to stop telling me no and running from me
lady, if I knew the answer to this I’d be a very rich woman.
how long dose a duck stay with its mom
not that long. Duck parenting isn’t all its quacked up to be.
how to tickle torture your husband
Jay and I will get right to work researching this one.
I dont know what the heck to do in a time like this it is very boring and i dont know what the answer is
Hmmm… I don’t know… maybe GO TO BED?!?!?!
i found a fly in my soup should i throw the soup away
Let me think… YES. YES. YES YES YES YES YES!
i love my donkey graphics
don't we all?
is it ok to apply vinegar directly on lips?
um, why? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
ped egg cheese eat
no. nonononono. no you DIDN'T.
poopy but
CJ?
put friends face onto a squirrel photoshop
now this sounds like a GREAT idea.
See, wasn't that fun?! (sorry Jay)

Make Me Laugh Monday
at the dinner table...
Me: So I emailed a lawyer about getting our estate planning done. How much do you think it's gonna cost?
Jay: $5,000?
Me: Uh, no. $1,000. But I thought that was a lot!
Jay: I don't know... I guess I hear "lawyer" and I think expensive.
CJ: What's a lawyer?
Jay: Oh no... I am not going to try and explain that.
CJ: What's a lawyer, daddy?
Jay: Never mind.
CJ: WHAT'S A LAWYER?
Me: I'll explain it to you, CJ.
(Jay rolls his eyes)
Me: You know how there are laws? Like you have to wear your seat belt in the car, and kids aren't allowed to drive, and you can't smash into people?
(CJ nods vigorously)
Me: Right. So, if someone breaks a law, then there's a lawyer who says that the person should go to jail. And there's this other lawyer who says the person shouldn't go to jail, who defends them. And so the two lawyers FIGHT. And whoever wins, well, they get to say what happens.
CJ: they fight? (his eyes are wide with amazement)
Me: Yep. Well, sort of.
CJ: And that's a LIAR?
Me: no, that's a lawyer.

Make Me Laugh Monday
Welcome to Make Me Laugh Monday where the whole point is ha ha ha with a bit of hee hee and even some LOL if you're lucky. Let's get this show on the road.
When we were in California a few weeks back, I spent far too much time laughing to myself about some of the signs that we encountered.
Like this one, for instance, which I immediately declared to be our new motto.
Or this one, which is admittedly rather obvious and yet still makes me laugh.
So then of course I had to go searching the Internet for other funny signs. Like this one, because we Americans need to have it spelled out.
And this one, which leads me to believe that Captain Obvious has found a new job as a sign writer.
For this last one, I like to imagine a befuddled general, scratching his head and muttering, "I just can't figure out how everyone keeps finding our secret bunker!"

Welcome to Make Me Laugh Monday where the whole point is ha ha ha with a bit of hee hee and even some LOL if you're lucky. Let's get this show on the road.
This week I have for you a couple of parodies on the Apple Macbook Air ad (click here to watch it if you're one of the .0001 percent of people who haven't seen it).
Which reminds me... am I the only one who downloaded the "New Soul" song (along with the rest of the album) based solely on hearing it in this commercial?

Welcome to Make Me Laugh Monday where the whole point is ha ha ha with a bit of hee hee and even some LOL if you're lucky. Let's get this show on the road.
My entry this week is a blog. The day I found out about it, I spent hours reading through the archives and shouting out things like, "HOLY COW THIS IS TOTALLY TRUE!!!" or "JAY, YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS!"
See for yourself: Stuff White People Like
Although it would probably be more accurate to call it Stuff Yuppies Like, or even Stuff Liberal Seattleites Like. But who am I to nitpick?
You can see the full list here. Also the author announced this week that he has a book deal!

Make Me Laugh Monday
Welcome to the third edition of Make Me Laugh Monday. Wow, the weeks go by fast, don't they?This is not my story, thankfully. It was forwarded to me via email.
"The Washcloth"
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles
away.
I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?" I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal ... Some shopping, cleaning, and cooking. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where's my washcloth??" I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."
I am never going back to that doctor. Ever!
