That’s awesome - well done! Reminded me of something else, story below.
For anyone that watched MythBusters, you’re probably aware the two main hosts, Adam and Jaimie, didn’t like each other because they were two different clashing personalities and tough to work with. There was a pirate myths episode, and Adam went all out dressing as a pirate and using a very heavy faux-pirate accent. Jaimie was laughing so hard during that scene that his whole head was red! One of the most endearing moments of the show, and something I treasure because this show was so influential for me growing up.
Props to anyone like @[email protected] that makes the normally serious person laugh!
Come on, you can't tell us that and not share the joke!
I’m convinced that the joke has to be so specific to that person’s sense of humor that it would not be funny to us.
Sometimes it’s better not to know.
I think doing this is a life achievement. I used to work at a grocery store and was being trained by an ex military woman who was hard as nails and really no nonsense. At one point she was explaining to me the concept of First in First Out (FIFO stocking of product, meaning the oldest product stays at the front of the shelf to be purchased first).
When she asked me "have you heard of FIFO?" I replied "Yeah, first in, last out.... Oh, wait, that's the Marine Corps". Got an actual laugh out of her. I'll never forget it.
