Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 24, 2023

Aunty you can’t use 3 HA HA HA’s or more unless you’re scooting across the North Korean border.

tell me about it

Don’t try laughing in class.

It’s like he won’t stop (It ain’t over) till the Aunt-lady laughs.

It’s why I never bothered. The most I did was a fake chuckle.

Ha… ha!

It’s called “canned laughter” on TV shows.

Courtesy laugh……

I found that muttering “idiot” works better.

…hoping the boss runs out of jokes?

I had a commanding officer who was the world’s most notorious punster. We were driving together to visit a remote site. He was driving (my first mistake). As we were bouncing up a mountain road, he said, “I’m trying to spare you as many potholes as I can.”

I responded, “It’s OK, sir. I’m sure the ones you miss on the way up, you’ll get on the way back down.”

He was also spinning off puns at a rapid rate to which I was NOT reacting. I finally told him, “Keep pitching, I’ll swing at one of them eventually.”

Apparently it was not a bad career move, I wound up getting promoted anyway. He was one of the best mentors I had and we respected each other immensely.

Not true. I saw a study that said that fake laughter is almost as beneficial as real laughter. And it can lead to real laughter.

A fake smile used to work for me.

If you stare at them blankly, they go away. I know this from experience :D

Not nearly as exhausting as fake working when you are at work Aunty.

Yankees hat. They’re kind of a joke this year.

It depends on how many ’ha’s you use, just one ‘ha’ is just being sarcastic.
