Mz, ask Mr Riggs about our trip to a minor league baseball game. 

There just is a shorthand that develops between friends.  I bet you can't say thingy around your friend without both of you crackin up now.

Within a circle of friends that I have been blessed with since high school, one of our favorites is "Table 13, hop-hop!"

Long story.

LOL,

Actually, there was no parking brake incident.  Just made it up for the post

Another friend and I have a good one where we can just say "Iron Underwear" and start cracking up.

Back around 1992 I worked with a couple guys that were pretty good friends.  The four of us were going to go out to lunch at a local Hardees restaurant, but I was in a really bad mood and didn't want to go.

They coaxed me into it but I was pretty much quiet the whole ride there and for the start of the meal (which is NOT normal for me).

So finally my friend Dave says "What the hells your problem today Jeremy, are you wearing iron underwear or something?"

Everyone kind of chuckled but I wasn't amused and excused myself to use the restroom which was within site of the booth.

I went into the handicap stall because it was the only one open, and put my hand on the rail they use to get up or sit down with, the rail, which was made of a heavy metal fell to the floor and let out this resounding crash sound.

It immediately hit me that it probably sounded just like a pair of iron underwear hitting the floor. 

I went to the door and peaked out and sure enough the three of them were guffawing, spitting soda through their noses, and doubling over laughing.

Needless to say, I wasn't in a bad mood anymore, we laughed the whole rest of the meal.

That reminds me of many times where my friends and I almost got kicked out of multiple restuarants.  And most of these times do NOT involve alcohol!

OK, everybody is giving background, so I will too.  It's nothing embarrassing, just geeky.

Back when my buddies and I played D&D (stop laughing!) the guy who ran the game kept a small toy Hoppy on the table.  You know, from the Flintstones?  I think it was a Happy Meal toy, anyways! He put a black armband on it with the letters "VP" for "Vulgarity Police".  If anyone got out of line or overly crass, hit picked up Hoppy and whipped it at your head.  Darned accurate, too.

Fast forward to my wedding, all that circle of people were put together at table 13.  Our reception was a BLAST, and that table was feeling NO pain!  At the height of there revelry, one of them snuck over to the micraphone and muttered "Table 13, hop-hop!"  They got the clue and we busted out laughing.

WFTR, maybe this will help you feel a little less geeky.  I was playing Magic one night with my friends, and we had a little to drink, just enough to get goofy but not enough that we couldn't play.  One friend brought her Grizzy Bear out, set it on the table, and said, "Grizzly Bear."  I followed it directly with a grrr.  So from then on, whenever she played her Grizzly Bear, she said, "Grizzly Bear, grrr!"  So now, to take it one step further, whenever we see anything with a bear, say anything about a bear, etc., it must be immediately followed by a grrr!

Add to the rant I went on one time about how random Moo-ing is funny, and I don't see how we ever get through a conversation.

moo!

moo!moo!

Has anyone attended the rodeo and seen Whiplash the dog riding monkey?  If not you can check him out here.  http://www.whiplashrides.com/

Anyway about 6-7 years ago I was running camera for the in-house video screens and the rodeo was in town.  During the intermission Whiplash was the entertainment.  The dog is a border collie and the act was showing how the dog could herd sheep into a pen.  Riveting I know.  But when the dog started running around it looked like Whiplash was hanging on for dear life.  This definitely qualifies for one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

One of the other cameramen lost it.  He started laughing hysterically.  His laugh is unique and it made the rest of us laugh just as hysterically.  The director couldn't even call cameras because everyone was laughing so hard.  I don't think I ever laughed as hard as then, you know one of those laughing sessions that hurt.  I couldn't catch my breath.  Everyone settled down after a few minutes.  But the rest of the evening someone would just start laughing out of the blue and everyone else started up again. 

Well no one around the camera crew knows what's going on except that people a laughing for no apparent reason.  It was one of the most enjoyable times I ever had while working.

Ever since we will start laughing when someone brings it up.  And naturally every few months some one emails out the picture to all those involved.  

my good buddy tom and I usually greet eachother with "dude, which soap?"

This guy Ed in highschool said "what's up", and that's they way it sounded. Still funny to this day.

Or if we head out for some food, even if its not eggs, one of us might say "good eggs. damn these are good eggs."

that goes back to college when we'd go to breakfast, sometimes meet up with a couple of classmates beforehand. One day this one guy proceeded to just snarf these eggs down. we got a 2 minute praise of the eggs from the guy between chomps......"good eggs............these are GOOD eggs.................man aren't your eggs good? mmmmmmm these are good eggs!"

I've never seen anybody love eggs THAT much.    

WE think we are anyway....
