I’m sure I wrote about this when it happened the first time.
There’s a drive in theater on Route 66. There’s a big sign out front and it usually has the names of the movies showing on both sides so whichever way you’re passing, you can see what’s showing. We pass by often and a while back . . maybe a year ago, we passed by and on the side facing us, it said “See Other Side”. Vince said . . “hmmm . . See Other Side. Have you ever heard of that movie?” I thought he was joking and I laughed. He said “Have you heard of it?” I couldn’t stop laughing. I tried to say “SEE . . OTHER . . SIDE of the sign!” and I couldn’t even get it out. Of course he laughed too. Every time we pass that theater, I have to bite my lip to keep from laughing, even though every other time we’ve passed, it’s had the names of the movies on both sides. Even something really funny isn’t funny after your wife laughs every time you see it.
Yesterday, we passed the theater.
I saw it and Vince didn’t see it. I said “Oh, your FAVORITE movie!” We had already passed it and he looked at me and said “What’s my favorite movie?” Again, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even get the words out . . “See Other Side”.
On the way home, I had him drive through the circle so I could get pictures. Here’s the other side! 🙂
It’s a good thing we can laugh at ourselves.

Life without laughter would be sad indeed! I hope to be able to laugh until the day I die!

There is an auto supply store on my way to work that used to advertise “xenon bulbs” for sale. For a couple of weeks I thought, “I wonder what they look like when they bloom?” One day it hit me…xenon bulbs are light bulbs! duh! I laughed at myself over that one for quite a while.

That’s funny. I would probably have thought the same thing.
