except when you snort while doing it. I've been known to, on occasion, emit a nasal rendition of a gurgle when laughing at something. Those near and dear to me find it endearing. Or at least, don't find it offensive. Today, however, those whom I work with got to experience a dose of my laughing prowess, albeit candidly. Mid meeting on a Friday, around a conference table with no fewer than 9 co-workers talking about home decor and how tattoos on a model in a home furnishings advertisement send a positive message during a bad economic time, someone says something funny (and no, it wasn't the comment about tattoos, but it should have been). Laughter ensues. Well yours truly, exhausted and elated because TFGIF (that's "thank f-ing god it's friday") lets out a big, loud, whooping laugh followed by a mammoth of a snort. And the whole table went into cardiac arrest. The CEO actually told everyone to go ahead and get an early start on the weekend. It was that deafening and awkward.
Thank you very much. I will be here all week.

Laughter is good medicine of course. And we are all sure to get a good dose of that medicine next Thursday night when Sarah Palin takes center stage in her debate with Joe Biden. I'd suggest DVRing "The Office" b/c I wouldn't want to miss a self proclaimed "foreign policy expert" in a one vs. one debate. After all, she can see Russia on a clear day!
