Ok all, yes I lurk here at least 2x daily like a shadow behind a sundial...been too serious, so I'd thought I'd share a NY Times Metro Diary style anectode:

Monday was a strange day commuting on the 1 train.

Morning rush I was sitting down minding my own buisness lost in thought preparing for a new day. A woman gets on, standing right in front of me as the train was packed, my face not too far from her posterior. Next thing I knew, RIPPPP! I held my breath as long as I could turning blue, and I knew she knew I knew....

On the way home, standing in another packed train. Tired, enjoying a 'quiet' moment w/o Ipod drone in my ear for a change. A dimunitive woman gets on next to me, and I turn away. All of a sudden she starts preaching LOUDLY 12" from my ear; I nearly jumped out of my shoes! I had to laugh...

Somedays, I wish I drove the S in more than others.

Anyone else w/ light hearted moments recently?

 

I know there've been some but I'm not remembering them right now. I read in your profile that you are interested in movies. I know most guys won't be seeing it, but I saw "Brokeback Mountain" today. It had some funny parts. Have you seen it, Dex9?

 

Dex. Sadly, nothing funny lately. I enjoyed reading yours, though.

 

That's why a gentleman gives up his seat for the ladies!

 

I haven't seen Mountain yet, makes sense that there would be moments of comic relief.

I usually give up my seat when I can, certainly should have this occaison. Guess I'm a barbarian / neanderthal more than a gentleman. BTW, that seems to be a lost word! (I know I'm vintage when people start calling me sir).

Joy / laughter seems more elusive than sorrow / tears...
