Bit-O-Humor

Okay folks. I know that some of you like a laugh from time to time (me too). I know that all of us have some real fears, real problems and want a way out... a guaranteed way out. I've been in some incredibly stressful situations and it amazes me how much a short laugh can change your entire perception. Whether you are being shot at or waiting for your child to come out of surgery even a few seconds of laughter can reduce your perceived load a lot.

I'm a creative person. VERY CREATIVE! I'm also what many label as a little twit or more Idaho-style a little $h1t. I can get just about anyone to laugh in just about any situation.

If some of you wouldn't mind. Provide me with a brief bit of "jargon" as you know it and what that jargon means.

So if you reply with "spiking" tell me what spiking means. I don't honestly know. So tell me some of the addictive jargon whether it is serious or humorous.

You might even tell a funny story that might go along.

I want to take the information collected and write out something pretty funny for everyone. Something you can look back at when you need too and have a private laugh.

As an example. My daughter has a serious injury to her stomach. It means that she toots/farts a lot. I mean A WHOLE LOT and it stinks. Like meat rotting on the highway in July it is rancid. When she was in O.R. on one occasion I was asked by the volunteer chaplain to provide a nickname for her (he cannot ask for a real name because of HIPAA and patient safety) so I thought for a second and I told him: "She's really cute and tiny like Tinkerbell but she can stink up a room like a skunk so when you pray for her pray for Stinkerbell." the name stuck and when my wife and I heard it we just laughed.

I want to take the time to honor you guys with a fun piece of material that you can enjoy. Many of you dedicate so much time to helping people here and I want to give back. I'm not a real serious person most of the time and if there's the smallest chance to see humor in something I will. We all need a laugh.

So if you want to respond with some jargon or a funny story please do. I promise I'll deliver something that should at the minimum make you roll your eyes and might even get you to laugh.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you can make of this but here it is. I have siatica. It's nerve pain shooting down my leg. Forunately the pain is on the outside of my leg and not shooting towards my inner thigh. I'm male if you know what I mean. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but have fun with it if you can.
