As you know, I write for Helium. While I was rating articles today, I came across this one, which really made me laugh out loud. I contacted the writer to say how much I enjoyed it, and lo and behold, it was one of our own MyLot members. (For those who don't know, rating on Helium is anonymous) The link to the article is below, but what I want to know is: has anything made you laugh out loud today?

I got a joke from one of my online friends:
I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately
needed to pass gas.. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my
gas with the beat of the music..
After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee,
and noticed that everybody was staring at me....
Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

Yes, that was really funny, but I would expect nothing less from our friend. She definitely has a way with words, and she can add humor to the most boring subject to make it seem quite interesting.
I am glad to hear that she is doing well on Helium, but I really do miss her presence here on myLot.

Hello, PA. Yes, I miss her here too, but she will come back to us. She just has a lot on at the moment.

Can you please let her know that I am thinking about her and miss her. I hope that everything is alright, and she is just very busy sipping coffee at the local caffion (isn't that what she calls it?
). I don't meat to try to make you a messenger, but I think it is nice when people care enough to miss me, so hopefully she will feel the same way. I am sending you both a huge hug!
Just to make this fair, since I am asking you to do something for me, if I see Fjaril I will send him by to squeeze your orange.

as i have posted early today, i had a conversation through text message with i think a girl who thought she sent her message to her daddy.
Here's our conversation:
It says: "Daddy, where are you? Today is the last day for us to pay."
I replied: "What payment? Where are you now? And who's this?"
It answered back: "It's Wing2, it's the payment for our tour on Friday. I'm at school."
I replied back: "Are you sure that I am your Daddy? Aren't you just sending this to a wrong number?"
Final say: "Ooops, sorry... It's a wrong send."
Wanna see my post, Sandra? It's still in the top of today's hot topics.

Hi Sandra, that has to be thea. She can really have me in splits. :) One of my first mylot friends. :) Pity the modern woman was not far sighted enough. May be that bathroom now qualifies as historic monument! Thanks for sharing the link Sandra. :) I receive jokes almost everyday. My friends know I love jokes. So every morning I have a few in my login. Those that are decent enough I send across to other friends. :)

Hello, Vandana. Yes, it's Thea. She's doing really well on Helium, and she's helped me a lot over there as well. She was one of my first MyLot friends. I get loadsof jokes as well - I've posted a couple in the boxes above.

Can we share jokes here sandra ? :) Actually I wanted to include something like that - at least one each day. :) When I was young - Papa used to tune Voice of America - during some holidays. In that there used to be a lady by the name Pat Case. At the time of signing off she used to add - "if you see someone without a smile give him one of yours". I hardly understood what was being said, but I used wait patiently to hear that one sentence. :)

Really funny story Sandra.
Could this writer be thea? I thought she has the same sense of humor.
Reminded me when I was really young visiting my grandparents in the old country. They too had showers and toilets outside the house. Even when they were moved in to live with us for a few years, my dad had an outhouse made just for them.

Hello, Bounce. Yes,it's Thea. I didn't name her in the lead-in, as I thought it might be against guidelines. We're both doing well on Helium, but unfortunately, it limits our time here. Still, we can't do everything. Like the outhouse story.

Well, that'll teach the woman to be so darn picky about her bathroom!! Sounds like she was literally 'dying for a ****'
Last night, my mum rang me from her mobile (cellphone) to say her landline handset had stopped working. I have a spare one so said I'd take it to her today. Within 15mins, she rang again from the landline and said "I chucked it across the room a couple of times & its working now." - the thought of my little white-haired mum lobbing the phone around made me laugh out loud.

Hello, Wizzywig. Couldn't have put it better myself. And I certainly wouldn't like to cross your mum!

Hello, Canellita. What a great idea! I'll pass that on when I speak to Thea next.
