Day 16: A Funny, Witty, Weird Mind


I don't proclaim I have a funny, witty mind.  English is my second language, so words sometimes escape my head and the Chinese become cluttered in my brain.

But I do love to talk to a witty person.  Nothing makes me laugh like the wit and the brains of an intelligent friend.  Somehow, humor and wit can be a strange, weird thing.  People look at us funny, like we are from some alien planet.

Clicking with someone is important to me.  I don't readily click with many people.  I might appear slow or just very observant.  Which I am.  For some folks, it takes time to learn who they are.  But a witty person, I can quickly latch on and begin to be just as "punny".

Puns makes the English language very enjoyable to learn.  I don't know where I got the love of puns and metaphors.  It might have been a carry over from puns in Chinese.  My dad can be the punniest person, in Chinese.

Lately, I have found a few great pun jokes.

  • The past, the present and the future walked into a bar.  It got pretty tense.
  • I once tried to make a belt out of watches.  But then I realize it was a waste (waist) of time.
  • I was struggling with playing baseball.  Then it hit me...
  • I haven't thrown a boomerang in a while.  Then it call came back to me.

 Oh dear, I'm nuts.  :)
