Post-it Note #25
November 20, 2009
(This post-it note is part of a series on how to lead a simple life even more simply – with pictures for those easily distracted by words.)
Today, I will LOL.
Have you ever seen Daryl, the silent laugher? He opens his mouth to laugh but nothing comes out. Where did the laugh go?
Or maybe you know his friend Bill. Bill says “That’s funny” but doesn’t laugh.
As Igby says to Sookie in Igby Goes Down “Instead of saying someone or something is funny, why don’t you just laugh?
There are so many opportunities to laugh yet we reign them in.
We laugh when someone falls down but turn bright red when we do the same. (Or curse and kick the side walk.)
Its’ okay to laugh at a movie or comedian but heaven forbid if we spill nacho cheese dip on our Seven jeans.
We get serious. Curse. Coil up.
We look at someone weird when they don’t laugh but even weirder if they laugh too loud.
We feel really weird when we’re the only one laughing.
We say sorry and keep it down to a minimum, a small whisper.
Instead, we need to slap our thighs and cut loose. Foot loose!
Kick off your Sunday shoes!
So hoot, holler, whollop! Howl like hyenas!
Let it out!
I want to hear you ROAR!

This was funny!
Strangely enough, my friends and I were asked to “keep it down” for laughing too loud at a bar Friday night.
This post-it represents the story of my life XD
@Sheila Then we would definitely have no problem getting along… ;L)
@Diggy I draw them all, maybe I should put some kind of disclaimer??
@Gabriel I know, I keep asking when are you coming to LA… First 3 drinks on me!

yay! I love laughing. It’s like a hobby for me. I have various different types of laughs for every funny situation. I have my motor laugh, my guffaw laugh, my can’t-get-any-sound-out-because-I’m-laughing-too-hard laugh, and of course my small giggly laugh. I spread laughter at work too, my co-workers are always laughing at my laughs.
@Azure, I love that you have so many laughs, I’m laughing thinking of all your laughs, can I have some?
@Mad lOve right back at you, Alex. You have *a way* with words that’s virtually untouchable. Thanks!!!!
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it.
