For a Good Laugh…
For a good laugh, try watching the Olympics, particularly the gymnastics. Gymnastics is probably the most physically-contorting of all the events. Because of this, it is the funniest to watch and even funnier when they mess up. Wednesday night it seemed that every male gymnast screwed up a bit and everyone was falling. They fell after the vaults, they fell during floor exercises, they fell from the bars, and one poor man even fell off of the rings.
The best thing about the fact that they fall is that they have to finish with that weird “Y” of the YMCA dance, arm motion. I called that the “Ta dah” and it’s ridiculous to do after you’ve just falling off the matt and landed in a camera pit. Probably the thing that makes it even funnier is I watch the events around midnight and I’m slap happy so the normally funny things that are happening, becomes downright hilarious.
It might not be what the Olympics are meant to be, but trust me, if you need a laugh look no further than China.
