Welcome to Humorholics Anonymous
11 Mar
Welcome, y’all!
This is the weekly meeting of HA – Humorholics Anonymous.
Hmm, I see many horrified new faces here tonight.
No fear. We have enough caffeine and sugar on the back table to put you in a coma – and most likely fuel some new addictions. Ha, Ha.
Sorry, I joked in a compulsive way. I’m working on that.
Now, who wants to go first so you can get it over with first? Come on…
“Hi, I’m Barb and I’m a humorholic.”
I can’t get enough funny stuff to read. I crave humor 24-7. I subscribe to every humor blog I can get my clammy eyes on. I paste New Yorker Magazine cartoons on my walls.
I live for my next fix of funny!
I read everything that’s remotely amusing. I reread the classic humorists every chance I get… James Thurber, Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Ogden Nash.
My co-dependents in The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop and AATH happily enable me.
When I’m feeling particularly desperate, I confess I troll YouTube for clever cat videos.
There’s so much comedy out there to consume. And so little time.
I forget to sleep. I neglect my family. I don’t eat nutritious meals, let alone cook them.
I admit there’s a monkey on my back – unfortunately he is laughing uncontrollably and has a banana stuck up his nose. He occasionally farts.
Finally, I am seeking guidance from a higher source. An addict is an addict. I plan to check into Le Rire* Rehab! A place of quiet free from comic distractions.
Where one can only create humor…
and not consume it in excess.
Join me. I’m Barb and I’m a humorholic.
*French for Laughter or jackass. I forget which.
