Ooh the days of rollerskating fun. I could skate into an expensive mirror without playing a violin.

I would be more than happy to give either one the right of the way!

Well I guess thats what you call a helpful thief.

That wouldn’t be a bad way to die, but being that I am still here one must have to laugh exceptionally hard in order to die! I will keep believing that laughter is the best medicine.
If I was being serious, you wouldn’t have laughed so much, but if I was joking, then you shouldn’t have laughed so much because you are implying that I am not funny. Hmmmm…… Maybe you just laugh at random things and really should be in a funny farm.
Oh gosh! I think you may have a point there. Take my advice and contact your local police and maybe the FBI as well, offering your services to help stop an alien invasion.
They will probably send you to the Funny Farm ….. just for training of course.
Pfffffttttt. I actually got a haircut Saturday and she couldn’t decide whether to charge me more for all of the hair she had to cut or give me a discount for the pleasure of working with such a luxurious mop.
So I looked it up how one dies of laughing because I was curious. The beginning of the article told about the Greek philosopher dying., saying it is possible BUT rare! Usually due to an underlying condition. Like someone going into an asthma attack. The benefits of laughter outweigh the risk, so the article said to keep laughing. You don’t need to worry about holding back on your jokes. Thought I would ease your mind. 🙂
Hmmm….! In answering Jason’s question I looked up about it really being possible to die from laughter and the article quoted the philosopher as an example. LOL! They said that most likely there was an underlying cause. People have died but its rare and when they have its usually due to the extreme laughter bringing on a asthma attack or heart attack.
I used to read our local newspaper for an organization called The Society for the Blind once a week. We read with a partner and took turns reading the articles. That allowed you to use the bathroom, get a drink, etc., when it wasn’t your turn. I started reading an article, and it was about a person who went into someone’s yard and began mowing their lawn on a riding mower. The owner, an elderly lady, could not get the person to stop. She ended up calling the police. My partner got the giggles which, of course, passed on to me. I could barely finish reading the article.
😂 Laughter is so contagious!
How great of you to help out wifh fhat organization.
I guess that person just thought they were doing a good deed by moving the lawn, but it is usually better to ask first. 😊
Fantastic stories! I loved Bones’ portrayal of the Star Trek Doctor and the love-hate relationship with Spock – the “pointy eared hobgoblin.” as McCoy once called him in a fit of rage at Spock using logic to comment on an emotional situation.
I could never possibly die from laughing at my own joke. That requires an enlarged self-perception of my ability at humor. I do occasionally tell some jokes that make people laugh, but since I obviously already know the punch line, why would I laugh hard enough upon its delivery to kill myself???
As kids we went to a rink a lot and I loved spending several hours skating round and round (and then my feet ‘buzzed’ once I took off the skates at the end of the day). The broken elbow came when I took my own kids skating and was showing them how to spin . As in…don’t do this. LOL

Crashing into a mirror while wearing roller skates is something I can see myself doing, too.
I think #3 is an April Fool’s joke.
