Just wondering if there really is anyone as weird as me out there! This is the sort of thing that makes me laugh (compare the punctuation).

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. Ihave no fellings
whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy-Will you let me be yours?
Jill

Changes the tone of a letter completely, a bit of puctuation!

Lol, that was good.

What really makes me laugh is when my maths teacher says sector or vector

I'm so sad

Hmm, I saw a great sentence about capitalisation the other day. Wouldn't be a good idea to post it here though...

Someone fell over a chair today in Graphics, and the teacher sunk to the floor with laughter...well funny...!

Trebor - the one about Uncle Jack and a horse?

My friend talking in a very wierd voice

Yes

Funniest thing that happened today was a group of us attempting to sing a four-part round during a Physics lesson

Beat this: I laugh at the thought of an egg with facial hair ...(kind of private joke). I've never actually SEEN an egg with facial hair, but we named this imaginary egg 'Smoy' pronouced Smo-ee not 'smoy as in soy sauce. Smoy derives from a mispelling of my mates middle name on her GCSE statement of entry, Smo which is now her official nickname, giving us all names with 'SM' at the start.

Soz for rambling about something that doesnt exist..it just makes me luaugh.. (i had a bit of a luaughing fit in history today about this,...) lol

Silly jokes like what do you call a shoe with wings? A shoe bird!! HAHA! I love that. The crazy monk joke (which I would tell you but it would take me a month to write and you kind of have to say it). My maths teacher because she always has examples of mistakes in tests. Erm.... Tenacious D. The looks this guy gives me when I do silly things Things that no one else finds funny really.

Going back to the original post, the punctuation in the thank you letters here made me smile.

Oh dear...

Car Expert

NOOO link wont open! Oh yeah Tre Cool and his *ahem* songs. Very original! I love you Tre. He is a funny guy. Jonathan Ross, Jimmy Car, my friend Tazman! She's hillarious. A boy in my class who's really annoying but really funny too because he has a really brummy accent.

Bit off topic but Musicbox your story rocks my socks!! Really good

Thanks Choddy!! I'll send you chapter 8 if you like when it's done. So pleased all thumbs up! Sorry that's a bit of topic people.

One of my maths teachers is Irish and is called Mr Morrow and the other is from Middlesborough called Mr Davies. Mr Davies always calls him Mr MorROW rather than MORrow. Gets us every time.

What makes me laugh? AIRPLANE the movie!!!

What MADE me laugh? My daughter told me one night after lesson that Daddy said something to her violin teacher about grade 3 requirement and how her "vibrator" (yes, he pronounced it the wrong way!) was coming...!

Tess, I really hope that violinutter did not get that joke!

I think i know the one u are talking about lol.
Most things make me laugh.. Girlfriend, friends, comedians, random events and Chuck Noris quotes. Yes I laugh at most things, yes I am strange

Karen from Will and Grace!

I Second that.

Phoebe from Friends as well.

There's too much for me to list, although my friend Michelle is one of the funniest people I know, I just laugh the whole time I'm with her.

Doesn't matter what Karen says, everything she says I find hilarious

Fawlty Towers. 30 odd years old now but I defy anyone not to laugh at it

No, I'm sure she didn't! She was laughing at his pronunciation but I was roaring at something else. I immediately said - How could you, M..? What were you thinking! She then added - Yeah, Daddy's English isn't THAT good, you know.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army!!!!!!!! They are the best! I laughed till I cried - a great de-stress "gadget"!

Same here! And Monty Python! Also Rowan Atkinson in everything he does (I love Johnny English)!

I love all the classic but recently well with in the last 10 - 15 years. There was a series called "Waiting for God" it got over shadowed by "One Foot in the Grave", some of the best writting I have seen for years!

I believe it was much better but heh I am a bit of an oddball.

I love stage farces too, I love being in them when they are done well (which I am still striving to do) they are hilarious.

You can not of course mention funny without saying "Allo Allo".

the thing that makes me laugh very loudly is that ABRSM are selling cd's of exam pieces !!!!!!!!!

To step back to the original thread, another Lynn Truss example:

A woman: Without her, man is nothing.

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

And some people don't think punctuation is important...

There is a book entitled something like Eats, shoots and/or leaves... it's about pronunciation and it's very funny!

Allo Allo was great

I agree about "Waiting for God" - that was a priceless series, far better than One Foot!

Tess: she's also written a book about rudeness, I forget the title but it looks intriguing!

Oh yes Faulty Towers, Mr. Bean and Black Adder.

Also funny jokes people make to teachers (ones the teachers don't mind them saying) Like "Sir I can't see the board you forehead's blinding me!"

And when this one boy kept saying he needed the toilet but the teacher wouldn't let him go. So he said "Sir I'm gonna go in this bottle because I can't hold on any longer." Then he pretended to and put it on the desk. The teacher came over, wrapped it in paper towels and put it on his desk. Tehn 10 minutes later the boy got up drank out of it and said "I didn't really pee in it sir!" That was hillarious! The look on his face when he started drinking out of it.

By the way the bottle was the sporty type so you couldn't see through it.

My friend's laugh is really funny - it makes us all laugh!

Oh yes I know some people with hillarious laughs. I also know someone who actaully screeches REALLY loudly when she laughs. If my friends hear (because they don't know her) they find it really strange.

I know some one who laughs like a mad proffeser type thing all the time! You know, sounds a bit Mwa haa haa sort of stuff.

makes me laugh when my maths teacher spells everything completely wrong, then decides to go back and correct it all! (it takes a while....)

When Andy and I have mad conversations

Talk to the Hand

Minor amendment - Eats Shoots and Leaves is about punctuation not pronounciation.

I laugh alot at all sorts of things, and find it heartening that there are lots of fans of Blackadder (although I can't bring myself to watch the last episode of series 4 - the first and only time I saw it I was in floods of tears) and Monty Python round here. 'Allo 'Allo was funny in its peak, but seemed to go off the boil towards the end.

In the spirit of Python, Husband and I nearly put "A shrubbery (a nice one, not too expensive)" and then "Another shrubbery (slightly raised, with a path down the middle, for a two-tier effect)" on our wedding present list. It was only the thought of someone turning up at the church with a couple of shrubberies for us that stopped us

The best one along these lines from my youth.

I went to an all male secondary school and our biology teacher was a VERY pretty, prim and proper lady.

We were doing some work with compasses.

"If anyone doesn't have a pair of compasses youll find some in the bottom of my draws"

Smart arse from the back of the class room "Isnt that painfull miss and wount I get told off for fiddling in your draws?"

30 teenage boys split their sides laughing while the teacher stares blankly at them.

"Jone stay behind and explain the joke"

30 teenage boys start laughing again and are holding their sides for the remaining 45 minutes of the lesson. At the end of the lesson every one is held back.

"What is the meaning of the joke Jones"

It takes poor old Jones 10 minutes to explain the joke to the teacher who gets progressily reder and reder and ends up running from the room.

The following lesson she appologised to everyone for being so thick and not knowing what drawers were. Over the following years we discovered she had an absolutley brilliant sense of humour and working in a working class secondary all male school brought the best of it out LOL.... In fact the last time I saw her she was a very sucessful head but that was a while back!

my little girl was singing "thank you for the music" by Abba a couple of days ago and I asked her what she thought the song means when it says "nothing can capture a heart like a melody can". She said "is it a type of can that's got melodies in it?"

I'll send you one next Christmas Sarah

One thing that makes me laugh: Other people laughing, and/or other people's laughs

I can restrain laughter sometimes, can any one else here?
Some people I know burst out laughing at the silliest things, sometimes when they are not remotely funny!

Me too. I laugh at things that NO ONE else finds funny, which is kinda embarasing. And also I'll remember things that have happened randomly, which is also embarrasing when your in a lesson or something.

Zoda: thanks hehehe!

ps> told my mum about the melody can, she thought it was hilarious

im totally like that. although mainly wiv my best mate i wind him up so much.

In our physics class our teacher just randomly screams mentally at people who talk, so my mate sits behind me and always whispers my name so i turn round! Luckily i havent got screamed at yet - i would probably laugh randomly at the teacher if he screamed!
