Most everyone has been in a small group of people, either family or friends, talking and laughing at funny things that were said. I enjoy these times.
I have some friends who are real comedians but just have not been put on stage as yet. This story is about one certain friend who is usually quiet, but when he says something, it is usually really funny.
One time Rudene and I, along with some of our special friends, had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal each of us received a fortune cookie. As each person opened a cookie the fortune was read aloud to the group. It just so happened that our comedian friend was the last one to have his turn to open his cookie. He cracked the cookie open, pulled out the little strip of paper with his fortune written on it and read aloud, “You may not know it, but you have a terrific sex life.” Needless to say, this made the group break out in laughter. Of course, this was not his fortune – only his version of it.
On another occasion, this same group of friends was visiting in a home to have lunch.
After the meal we were talking and remembering our old times together. One of our out-of-town friends noticed that our comedian host had on a paisley tie.
She said, “I see you have on a paisley tie and I didn’t think you liked paisley ties.”
Our host replied, “Oh, no, it’s paisley suits that I don’t like.”
It is good to have wonderful friends to enjoy and always have fond memories of being with them.
