What`s Funny About That ?
by
Stephan Hovell
I split my sides with laughter just the other day,the way this man fell over and jumped up straight away,he was hopeing no one saw,which tickled me even more,I have to say you shouldn`t laugh,what`s sense of humour for? I went over to him,biteing my lip,and said "are you all right" he spun around and looked at me,then went red at night. Well that was that,at least I thought,blow me down wouldn`t you know,the very same man had his trousers caught,the bike chain wouldn`t let go. I was almost passed out with laughter,to see one mans bad luck,I can imagine the word under his breath,must surely rhyme with duck. I went over to him again,and said "are you ok?" when he saw it was me again,he went crimson straight away. I patted him on the shoulder and said "I guess it`s not your day" I`m sure if there was a rabbit hole near,he`ld be in there right away. I wonder why these sort of things,make me want to laugh?,nothing is actually funny,maybe I`m just daft,but I tell y!
ou ,if you were there,and you had seen that bloke,I think like me you`ld have to think,it`s got to be a joke.
