It's Not Like I'm Garfield

Rimarama: "You know what? I am SO GLAD I signed up for this Erma Bombeck writers workshop! I think it will be really good for me."

P-Dawg: "Oh?"

Rimarama: "Yeah! I mean, I'm sure that BlogHer would be fun, but I feel like I'll get a lot more out of this from a writing standpoint, you know what I mean? I've always wanted to hone my humor writing skills. Plus, I get to meet KC."

P-Dawg: "It's funny, when I think of "humor writing,", I never think of you."

Rimarama: "What are you saying?"

P-Dawg: "I don't know."

Rimarama: "You don't find me the least bit entertaining?"

P-Dawg:

Rimarama:

P-Dawg: "It's just that when I think of a humor writer, I think of somebody like Lewis Black, you know? Someone whose all crass and crotchety."

Rimarama: "Are you telling me you've never once laughed at anything I wrote?"

P-Dawg: "I -"

Rimarama: "Have you even chuckled inwardly?"

P-Dawg: "I've chuckled inwardly."

Rimarama: "'What about, "guffawed?' Have you ever guffawed?"

P-Dawg: "Well . . . it's not like you're Garfield."

I have often peed in my pants (just a little) when reading your work.

Oh, and I live within walking distance of the University of Dayton...

...just sayin'.

I could show you where Erma and the the Wright Brothers are buried.

I think you are hysterical. Your husband might be a brain surgeon, but clearly he doesn't know funny.

That's because you're BETTER than Garfield! :)

I have DEFINITELY laughed out loud.


Isn't Garfield that dead president? Frankly, I don't think he was HALF as funny as you are.

My hubby doesn't really think I'm funny either (unless I make a poop or fart joke, which is never). I happen to think I'm hysterical. And so are you! :)

Nice article as for me. It would be great to read a bit more about this matter. Thanx for giving that material.

Are you married to my husband too? I think the real problem is that he doesn't like comedy competition. My hubby thinks he's the wittiest person ever to walk the face of the earth, and should I crack a joke he'll always deride it.

Lucky for me he can't string two words together when it comes to the written form!

You know what? I never thought Garfield was particularly funny. I don't recall ever laughing. (Now, Garfield without Garfield, on the other hand...)

But you, my friend, have made me chortle, chuckle, guffaw, and even (possibly on more occasions than I should readily admit) snort.

I have more than guffawed. Favorite, favorite place for laughs. Always.
