Comedy of Life

Today is another day. A day where someone somewhere is laughing. However not here. I don't hear any laughter. Here are some things that make people laugh...

1) TV shows
2) People
3) Children
4) Winning the lottery
5) Schadenfreude - I learnt that word this year from a show which made me laugh called Avenue Q.
6) Silly jokes
7) Serious jokes
8) People being dead serious about themselves but making a fool of themselves
9) People being dead silly about themselves seriously (stand up?)
10) Dilbert
11) Foreigners speaking your language - a bit like 5) but you try speaking theirs and you may not be laughing
12) Clever adverts
13) Recounting fond memories
14) Recounting foolish acts
15) Recounting serious acts and realising that they were foolish

... and the list goes on...

But still no one's laughing here at the office. I call it the morgue. But probably dead people would find more to laugh about than in here.
