The Humourically Challenged

Way Cooler does not read my blog.

I used to think this was because he was a serious professor with waaaay better things to do than read a mommy blog.

You know, discovering cures for the common sermon, stuff like that.

But, I am beginning to think it might be for another, less noble reason.

Last night I was reading this post from Big Mama. ( You might want to read it first, or the rest of the post will not make a heck of a lot of sense.) It was snort your Coke out funny. I had to share a line with Way Cooler.

"We subscribe to the theory that vegetables are what food eats."

I was certain he'd find it as funny as I did. We spent two years in Texas, we live in Alberta, we know these kind of people. We share DNA with these kind of people.

He didn't get it.

At all.

And, being the good professor that he is, he tried to break it down. He shared with me all the instances where that statement might not be true.

It was quite painful.

Even two hours later, he was still trying to prove to me why that statement was inaccurate.

I have never in my life been so sorry I shared.

But then I got thinking. Yes, we did spend two years in Texas, but he spent pretty much every waking moment of it in the library. At this place. For those of you unfamiliar with it, they are not exactly world famous for their levity.

They are good at teaching though. They cram a lot of knowledge into their students. So much so that their PhD students need their sense of humour surgically removed to make room for all that knowledge stuff.

And Way Cooler, he has a PhD.

The humour, it escapes him.



A samll disclaimer. WC is actually pretty funny. This would be payback for the two hours of joke analysis last night. Plus, the first statement is true, he doesn't read my blog, so I am pretty safe.
