Funny Defined...Sort Of

Funny is the type of contagious virus that appears without any warning. Funny has no care to whom it targets; it can target the newborn, the grumpy saleslady at the grocery store, a stressful student, or even the man hurriedly rushing to work. Funny varies in traits; "that’s-so-stupid-funny,” “what-the-hell-funny,” and “so funny-my-stomach-is-hurting-funny." Funny is there to make the bleak, colorful. When one is too busy to notice the drops of rain tapping on their shoulder due to a stressful schedule, Funny is there to brighten things up by allowing time to stop, and allow one to stare at the man on his cell phone with a Starbucks coffee in one hand walking, who suddenly trips over his own foot. With this, one has just witnessed the man’s shirt vandalized with coffee stains in slow motion. This leads to a giggle that erases the bleak schedule, and drops a pint of color into that citizen’s day. Funny can happen when boredom strikes. Boredom is overshadowed by Funny when a friend tries to imitate Ms. Something USA’s “I personally believe” speech. In doing so, one can be diagnosed with a stomach ache due to the contained laughter. One can burst into a melody of hysterical laugh when pondering about the episodes Funny has brought to oneself. Funny, defined, sort of.
