Down In Me

Delusive Snippet #4

I am quite comical.

No, really, it’s true. I am not great at relating anecdotes, though. I am more of a witty-one-liner-once-in-a-while kind of gal. But when it comes, it blinds you with comic fury and before you can grab your sides, you’re convulsing in an embarrassing fit of giggles and guffaws. My sense of humour isn’t run-of-the-mill. On the contrary, it has on occasion been considered offensive and distasteful. I often deliver my best lines to stunned silences and chirping crickets. There’s just no accounting for subjectivity.

    It is offensive and distasteful not to be offensive and distasteful in one’s attempts at humour!

    Camille: Not for people like us.

    AUW: I couldn’t tell a joke, filthy or otherwise, if my very life depended on it.

    Jim ‘Nick Nick’ Davidson: I am sorry, I live under a rock and have no idea who you are.

    Bohémienne: Something.

    Z: They all are, my dear, they all are.

    Lillipilli: Ha! Agreed.
