Survey Says Most People Do Not Think I am Funny.




So I have what can at best  be called a quirky sense of humor. I live for long thought out jokes. I can patiently wait for the opportunity to arise. One time I memorized all of the lyrics to Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" and then waited for a guy to freak out so that I could speak them as my own words...It took four months.

Do you know what it is like to have someone look at you and ask, "Why the hell are you trying to order a tumbleweed on the internet?"

I know what that feels like. I have this plan, for what I think will be the funniest joke of all time. I want to get a tumbleweed, attach it to a string then go to a very public place and do this. 

Step 1: Have two people (myself and someone else) walk past each other, then suddenly whip around and make eye contact. 
Step 2: Suddenly have this music start playing very loudly.
Step 3: Have aforementioned tumbleweed pulled slowly between the two people. This whole time have the two people keep glaring After the tumbleweed has cleared the area, have the two people resume walking as if nothing happened.   

However as badly as I want this to happen, it is damn near impossible to acquire a tumble weed in the state of Minnesota. I have found just one in the last 4 years, and it was on my first day of a new job. I figured if I showed up carrying a tumble weed on my first day I would be fired for being a complete lunatic... So I did not take it but, planned to stop back for it on my way home, sadly it was gone by the time I went back.

Also it is not possible to buy one on Ebay... I have tried multiple times.

See I think that is funny... Other people thing I am crazy.

This brings me to today and the super awkward thing that happened to me today. 

As I was leaving my last class of the day, I encountered two younger men handing out samples of 5-Hour Energy. They were standing there literally saying "Try the latest energy drink!"

There was only one possible reaction I could have possibly had. So I practically yelled, "I ain't gonna be part of your system Man! Pump that garbage in another man's face!" as I took the drink from them and threw it on the ground as hard as I possibly could.

Now I thought this was super funny. But apparently no one in the surrounding area got my reference. The two guys just stared at me, one even had his mouth open and his eyes popping. People walking near us either sped up to get away from me or stopped walking all together to stare. So instead of making other people laugh, I just stood there looking dumb as my face turned several shades of red. After about 10 of the longest seconds of my life I bent down, picked up the little bottle, stuffed it in my pocket, and then walked way as quickly as possible.   



This is what a bottle of 5-Hour Energy looks like after if hits the ground.

Bah, I am one awkward girl.

  1. unfortunately- the best part of that video was that Elijah Wood was in it- I'm sorry I wouldn't have understood your reference either.
