Funny at a stretch
The funny things I
write where funny could be interpreted to mean anything from amusing and humorous
to utterly disagreeable and disturbing. Funny is quite versatile, and depending
on context, you can only wonder what can be read as funny.
If I am being funny,
I may not be making you laugh at my funniness even as I would like to entertain
everyone with a perspective of things that hopefully would elicit a reaction
better than fits of conniption. Indeed, my kind of funny can leave you feeling
strange and cold by taking you to places you will rather not be, but some
journeys are necessary.
Funny as in funny?
Obviously, what I
intend and what is perceived might be worlds apart. If I now propose to make apology
for what I express before it is written, I might bind myself in the wrong when
there is no offence committed and things are portrayed as they are. I seek not
to be misunderstood as much as I desire to be comprehended, I cannot account for
the difference in the positions we might find ourselves when my funny is not
all that funny.
If I then say in the
corruption of a song by Billie Holliday that ‘these funny things remind me of
you’, we can agree that it is probably that things that made us laugh, the
things that make merry, the things we like to remember that means more about us
than the things best forgotten. Let’s keep funny funny and see the humorous
side of things that might not entirely be the funny we expect.
The funniest thing about this blog is one observation that Brian made some time ago, he said, “Darling, you can take one word and make a whole blog of it, I have seen you do that.” Funny that. Someone has been reading funny things in my blogs, I wonder if I am writing funny blogs or it is funny writing blogs.
