And it gets heavy too, try it and see. Try thinking about nothing. What do you mean you can’t do it? When you try to think about nothing, it turns into something, doesn’t it? The more you try to think about nothing, the heavier it gets, until it sinks completely out of the picture.
I found it impossible to think about nothing myself. That’s where this blog comes from. I know it isn’t much, but it’s something. My mind was a complete blank until I tried to think about nothing. Suddenly, the driving lights came on and I drove into the discovery that nothing is impossible and it can get heavy too!

I’ve been doing some research on writing comedy routines just for fun and I uncovered a lot of promises assuring me that writing any kind of comedy is extremely difficult. This only fuels my enthusiasm, so here goes! Will it be a ten (would make most audiences laugh) or a one (it’s humor will be weak, finally fainting on stage and get walked on by departing participants) or somewhere in between. Please be honest in your assessment rating of a 1 to 10.
I am the local paper boy in our small town. One Monday, my girlfriend invites me over to help celebrate her birthday. I become so involved, I forget all about doing my daily route. On Tuesday, I’m going to make sure to deliver both Monday’s and Tuesday’s news to all my clientele, thinking that would be the second best thing to do. But, to my amazement, on Tuesday I discover that Monday’s left over papers had already been trashed and burned. Now I’m down to my third best thing to do, so I give everybody on my route not one, but two neatly rolled copies of Tuesday’s Daily News!
Ok, so writing comedy isn’t hard at all, it’s writing funny comedy is where the difficulty comes to play! Oh well, go ahead and assess it anyhow, assuming that you heard it through the mic of a highly skilled stand-up!

A lady dreamt that she was in the audience, watching “The Price Is Right,” when her name was called to “Come on down” and be a contestant. From there on, her memory becomes a little fuzzy and she can’t remember what happens next in her dream.
So she gets herself into the audience at “The price is right”, they call her name to “Come on down” and she wins the spot on stage. She was on the show yesterday and she shared her dream just before she won a new car!
HUH!

I was going for a leftover food refrigerator container. I opened door #2 and there were about a half dozen to eight different shapes and size containers and lids to choose from. I tried several possibilities before I realized that there was not one lid, out of the eight or so, on that shelf that fit any one of the containers on that shelf! I don’t understand for the life of me how this is possible! How could this problem have been prevented? Anyone have a solution or is this entirely new territory for you? It would only be fair to mention that there were extra hands, helpful in the kitchen over the holidays. However, the container with it’s lid were always used as a single unit until now, that system has been wrecked! No doubt, I need to schedule a scavenger hunt next, want to be on my team? We‘ll no doubt end up spending a good deal of our time in the pantry, behind door #3. By the way, Door #3 is still breathing heavy from little people traffic, up to three deep, entering, adjusting and exiting, in an intense game of hide and seek. Now our pantry proudly displays Grandchildren stirrings! And fun was had by all and I sincerely mean it!

I was working my way into the far reaches of our non-perishables storage area when I uncovered a can of badly out-dated coffee. To my amazement, it still had a professional fresh taste, the can said so!
