Say Anything

I'm so glad I have people in my life that I can say anything to.  (Or to whom I can say anything, if you want to get all cunty about your prepositions.) I'm a pretty weird kid.  Last night, me and a few friends spent the night a little tipsy and yelling out "fish" in an old man voice with a country accent.  Yeah, I'm that weird.  I find it totally acceptable, and by acceptable I mean hilarious, to yell out words repeatedly throughout the  evening if the joke was funny the first time.  And by hilarious I actually mean hilarious, I'm not talking hyperbole here.  I'm talking laughing until you cry, laughing so hard you can't yell the word out again because you can't get enough air into your lungs. I have come to realize that other people think that is funny too if they too have done a few drugs in their lifetime.

One person to whom I can say anything, Kyle and I have long, long running jokes.  For years we have been running these jokes into the ground.  That song about walking 500 miles for you, well, one day one of us (it was so many years ago now I don't remember which one of us, but it was most likely Kyle) sang the song with the lyrics "I would punch 500 cats for you."  I even remember that we were walking in the park.  I remember because  I was laughing so hard and it was really quiet and green.  The park is a lovely place to laugh.  I had a bad week this week and out of the blue I got a text that said "I would punch 500 cats for you if you built something to hold them."  Still funny after all these years.  (I'm hearing a Paul Simon song in my head right now. Apt.)

Sometimes I wonder if a person with a lot of authority in the field watched these interactions would they consider me, and I'll use the medical term, batshit crazy?

Back to the original point, even if a doctor would confirm I'm certifiable, my friends don't.  Or at least they laugh with me.  And they don't even blink when I yell out "beans", or "fish", or collapse into fits of laughter about a gallon jug of lube when it has been days since I have even seen said jug.
