What Makes You Laugh?

My husband has brain cancer. Last weekend I was just finished bathing him when I went for the lotion. I pushed on the pump and there must have been something stuck in it because it went wild and hit my husband in the face. I chuckled a little and he just looked at me and said "So that's what it feels like" I think I was still on the floor laughing 10 minutes later. I so Love this man.

I had a meeting yesterday and my Stage 5 Alzheimer's husband was going to lunch with our neighbor whose wife was with me at the meeting. We usually go in and put our garage and take our opener with us rather than a door key. He was really upset that his opener would not work! When he mentioned that he was hitting the red power button, I realized he had the remote to the television!

A story circulating on the Internet that may make you laugh out loud:

"OMG!!! I was in the public restroom – I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice in the other stall: “Hi! How are you?”

Me (embarrassed): “Doin’ fine!”

Person in next stall: “So, what are you up to?”

Me: “Uhhh, I’m like you, just sitting here.”

Person in next stall: “Can I come over?”

Me (now slightly irritated): “Are you serious?!!!!!!”

Person in next stall: “Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There's someone in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!”

My precious lady, of who I am her caregiver, Has Pick's dementia. We were in a Denny's, with our best friends.....as we was getting up to leave, the man that we were with, passed some Gas, and my wife said ...so everyone could hear....why do you Fart so much? My jaw hit the floor, and he straightened up real quick and said "it must have been something I ate!!" everyone started laughing, and I did not even attempt to explain, we just laughed...and got the heck out of there.

True story...about my mother:

My mother turned 100 years old a few months ago. She cannot hear without her hearing aid and she lives in the house where I grew up which is 200 miles away from where I live. She gets meals on wheels delivered to her house weekdays.

Recently, she didn't have her hearing aid in and didn't hear the doorbell so the delivery lady did not leave a lunch for her. She got so upset, she called the police to report her meal stolen. She also called me as well as her neighbor who helps with her; and the neighbor took her some lunch. I was on the phone with Meals on Wheels when I got a call from the police dispatch lady on my other line; she wanted to know if they needed to dispatch a squad car out....with lunch! She was laughing so hard, she was almost in tears. I assured her my mother had food and was ok. No squad car or lunch needed.

When I got back on the phone with the Meals on Wheels lady, she was laughing really hard. She told me that this was a first....no body had ever called police to report their lunch stolen! But several had called the police because they didn't like the food!

I know that halloween is over but just came across this and wanted to share:

I think what Kathleenapdx said is really sweet. It brought a smile to my face.

Although I'm old and getting quite grey, I still awake with a smile each day. I have to admit I forget quite a bit, But I forget I forgot right away!

Well my old rescue cocker had surgery on her paw & it's all wrapped up which she hates. When I put the plastic over it to go outside an old joke comes to mind & I've been telling it to her & laughing:

A three legged dog walks into a bar...sits up on a stool & says to the bartender...I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.... ba dum dum.

So silly but always makes me laugh!
