I don't remember exactly how it came about, but I do remember my family and I laughed for a good ten minutes straight one day, on a long string of literal interpretations that began with something like:

My ma: "Adam, will you help me prepare the veg' for dinner?"
Myself: "Sure, what do you need?"
Ma: "I'll do the carrots; will you shell the beans?"
Myself: "I'll get the Howitzer..."

I dunno. I think that's the time my literal interpretations got the biggest laugh.

What did the money-wise working person say to the unemployed worrywart?

"You can account on me!"

I have a title saved to hard drive that probebly will never be written. Title isn't even fleshed out but would look something like this.
"how to fart your way to serenity" basic premis being women (and yes, men) are to inhibited to let it out and if they learn to fart properly they will get all the badness out, be expressive and find that higher peace. I love fart jokes. I also have a work title called "eat me" canniblisam and eating someone "normal" might correct any gene defects. I mean we are what we eat, are we not? At my age I find normal boring as hell, by the way. I found normal boring as hell when I was young too, so it's all good. :lol:

Speaking of howitzers...

I was working in a shop recently. I and a coworker had both been doing bits and pieces on a system. I wasn't sure if it was all finished, so i asked him what I should do.

He said "Just do the bill".

I paused, briefly, and said "'Allo, 'allo, 'allo. What's all this then?"

I don't often make myself laugh, but tonight's the night.

This constitutes cross-posting, I guess, as I did it in the "What's your Aspie score" thread, but it sorta belongs here:

I agree. I've scored from 114 to 127 because i don't know what to answer on some of the questions.

Ah! But that's the whole point. It has the no/maybe/yes answers, but also the "?", which is "I haven't got a clue what this question is all about". I put that as the answer for a question like "During eye contact, do you qfwip the teasmaid?"

In that case, this might at least amuse you, even if others might find it childish :lol: I have never been known for my ladylike manners or restraint when it comes to matters of gaseous emissions. In fact, I am known for being a right blastoff lol

Anyway, not that long ago, I was going through a major spiritually obsessive phase. And I was a member...and after, a moderator on a uk spiritual forum that held its own seminars twice a year for members. These seminars lasted from Friday to sunday evening and you would decide on a main area and take classes in that over the weekend. Things like healing, mediumship, trance mediumship and psychic art. I did Trance...and got quite far on it, lol.

Anyway, one afternoon we had to sit through a mediumship demonstration, that lasted 2 hours. Lunch had been something with brussels sprouts, of which I had eaten quite a few. So the demo was very uncomfortable. I mean, I could hardly let it rip just as the medium was bringing through Auntie Edith could I?

Once the demonstration was finished, I got up quickly... this was in a hotel by the way...and left. A few people had walked out ahead of me, including a middle aged female moderator from the forum, and a male member called kevin. Anyway, as soon as I was out the door and in that wooden floored hallway, I pushed hard and the most massive and loud fart echoed around the hallways.

The woman just stopped in her tracks and the man behind her came to a stop too. And she turned and she said 'Who spoke?'. And poor Kevin said, 'Don't look at me!'. And I was by this time on the floor rolling around laughing at the huge sound I had made and the fact she had asked 'who spoke?'. I had never heard that response to a fart. Needless to say, I was known better on the forum after that

I find that my literal interpretations can be used to my advantage in humor. People take figures of speech and communication for granted, so I am able to point things out in a way that is very true but other people would never think of so they think I am funny. Sometimes I'm not trying to be, but people usually think I am, so I go along with it.


Actually, it causes probelms with my teacher who thinks I'm getting "smart" with her. Sometimes I will make an unusual observation, and while coming from someone else it might sound like a stupid comment, she thinks I am being smart or sarcastic with her because she knows I'm very smart, especially since I have corrected her in legitimate ways a few times.


Apparently I give off weird expression in her class because I hate being there (I mean I HATE the entire hour and 15 minutes). One day I had an odd expression while she was going over some formula on the board. She said, "brian, your looking at me like you are confused". I replied, "no, I understand it, its just that sometimes I give an odd expression on my face when I am thinking about something". Everybody thought this was really funny and I realized that my teacher might be thinking I was being sarcastic, so I further explained that "I'm seriously not trying to be smart, but I am just trying to be honest, I know I am a little bit odd"

The class thought that was funny too. (In a good way). The know I'm odd but they like me for it.

I think of the movie "Four Minutes," where the sportswriters in the British press ("The all knowing gentlemen of the press") on Fleet Street criticize Roger Bannister for doing things his own way. The irony is these men are heavy smokers and drinkers and can't run a lap around a track to save their lives. I think they are typical of the "normals" who criticize people like us, and Roger Bannister, for being ourselves.

I've often thought the journalists on Fleet Street who criticized Roger Bannister needed a fleet enema because they were full of it!
