Are YOU Doing the Laughing or IS The Laughing Doing YOU?

Humor is taken so seriously today! Have you noticed that it is getting to be difficult to even be ALLOWED to laugh today? People will judge you when you laugh, they are the "laughter police"! They will check to see if you laughed in a politically correct way, and if you laughed at a politically correct joke! The "laughter police" have been "deputized" by donuts!
Just try to make a motion now, in public, just try raising an eyebrow, let alone laugh, and you may be subjected to the Botox fine: you will subliminally receive a message to go directly, (do not pass go, and do not collect $200.00) to (Botox) jail, so that instead of being able to raise that eyebrow that may POTENTIALLY HURT someone's feelings, you will be unable to do so! If you so much as DARE to cough, or clear your throat in an elevator, or bus, or even in a car with others, or in a taxicab, you will be subjected to the punishment of a scornful scowl and be treated like the "terrorist" you are!
If you DARE to say ANYTHING AT ALL, even if you mention something unexpected, or unpredicted about the weather, then you are causing the listener of "your" weather report to become UNHINGED and you will be made sorry, because THAT IS A PROVOCATION! For how dare you make someone have to deal with anything but what is masterfully PREDICTED on the news! The media knows all! The media show us how to act, how to dress for the weather.
The media shows and models for us how to only speak about what is predictable! The media knows how IMPORTANT it is that we must all GET what we expect from the news, instead of any shocks! Why, if the news told us anything we don't know already, it might cause us to actually react, thus making us UNCOMFORTABLE, and any shock might make us have to FEEL something! This would never do, because we MUST all remain in our NUMB-NUMB comfort zones, or else we may even show some EXPRESSION and then we will have to get our Botox injections sooner, and that will throw off our scheduling, and the kids' play dates, and soccer practices, and this just cannot happen, because meal plans will have to be switched and all!
Speaking of meals, that reminds me, I used to be a vegetarian. Now when I enjoy a pastrami sandwich from one of the Jewish Delis, (after all IS it pastrami if is from anywhere other than a real Jewish deli?) I cry! I cry because I feel so bad ENJOYING the meat, but I cry also because I know that the meat is getting even with me for demanding meat be supplied. I know, instinctively, intuitively, that while I am eating the meat, the meat may be "eating" me back. Pay back time!
