Poop.
Yes, I just laughed at that. There doesn’t seem to be a time when that wasn’t funny. Come on, it has to be one of the greatest words in the English language, maybe besides fartknocker or dweeb.
What does this all suggest? Well, I’m no math major, but I think it indicates that I am very immature. When I say immature, I mean I will laugh at just about anything that is physical or involves bodily fluids.
Lately, thanks mostly to “The Office,” my friends and I have been using the phrase “That’s what she said.” Even after nearly three months of saying it at least 10 times every day, it still has not lost its luster.
I am so immature that I laugh at funny names. Once, I was watching some political commentary with Dick Armey. Again, Dick Armey. What’s not funny about that?
I admit to being immature, but does that mean there is something wrong with it? I say no, but there seems to be a stigma against immaturity.
The stigma is that if you are immature, you are just really weird and have a problem interacting socially. It’s kind of like being an avid player of Dungeons and Dragons, only with a lot less talk of mystical beings and much more interaction with the opposite sex.
Why does there have to be such a stigma? So what if I laugh at the occasional fart or discuss things that could put me on the women’s rights hit list? All I can say is this: I’m loving life.
Also, I don’t think this stigma is accurate. I too can laugh at sophisticated jokes, such as how Neville Chamberlain couldn’t appease a fat kid in a cupcake store or that Glen Beck is more hypocritical than Adolph Hitler’s Warsaw Pact with Joseph Stalin (sorry about all the World War II references). But I’d rather laugh at jokes from the movies “Superbad,” “The Big Lebowski,” and “Brokeback Mountain.”
In fact, I would go as far to argue that being immature is actually better for you. I imagine I laugh more than most people, and there have been numerous studies on the health benefits of laughing as a stress reducer. So, while you may be suffering from a heart attack at the age of 50 due to the stress, I’ll be laughing at The Simpsons and healthier than ever.
For those of you who think you are “better” than me because you don’t laugh at “poop,” you are not having as much fun as I am. My friends and I can make almost any situation hilarious, especially tax returns.
People who see themselves as “mature” are embarrassed to be with people who are immature. But the opposite happens as well. My friends and I are embarrassed to be with people who act hoity-toity and stuck up. I believe the scientific term for these people is “d-bags.”
To those people: good luck with your life, because I’m having more fun than Darryl Strawberry in Colombia. Don’t look down on me because I’m laughing at funny noises. Look down on yourself for taking life too seriously. Life is hard. You don’t have to make it harder.
That’s what she said.
