God's little jokes...has he played one on you?

[Cannikin]

The good lord blessed me with the skill and the passion for flight and aviation, but then he also made me extremely prone to motion sickness. I just know he gets a laugh out of that one. I have to load up on dramamine (less drowsy formula, lol) everytime I fly!

Do you have one to share?

[fudge stripe cookays]

1. Yup.

I got my confirmed MS diagnosis and drove home after a huge bout of tears and was still shellshocked, imagining what my life was going to be like, and what I was going to do.

I arrived home and checked the mail to find a substantially large check from my aunt's estate.

Cute, huh? The big guy definitely has a sense of humor.

[Tsiyu]

2. On my 44th Birthday

My well pump died.

my car broke down,

my horse got sick

and one of my sons called to say he was headed for a mission in Iraq...




but my neighbor gave me a pig.

And then my ex's new wife said she wanted the pig.

I don't know which was the better gift : the pig, or finding someone to take the pig....

[trof]

3. Used to get airsick in the air force.

When I was in USAF pilot training I filled a barf bag the first dozen or so times I went up. Almost washed me out.
Then, one day, I didn't and that was the end of it.
I also got carsick as a kid on long trips.

[crim son]

4. Yes.

Don't ask. :eyes:

[XemaSab]

5. Oh yes. Oh yes.

I had gone to chase a bird in Imperial County, and after seeing the bird for a few minutes, it was the end of the day. I went to go check into a hotel, and as I was standing there at the counter my insufferable arch-nemesis called to book a room. I left.

ps I learned later that he dipped on the bird by two minutes after a 17-hour one-way drive. So there is some justice in the world. :D

[MissMillie]

6. are you kidding me?

gray hair and acne at the same time


(the higher power can be pretty malicious at times)

[KitchenWitch]

32. Gray hair, acne and wrinkles!

[MissMillie]

40. precisely!

:hi:

[foreigncorrespondent]

7. Yes!

I am gifted at digital art. Some of the abstract pieces I created were really very beautiful. But now he has robbed me of the person who gave me the inspiration to create the pieces. Now, no matter how hard I try, I just can't create anything like I used to.

[Radio_Lady]

14. Oh, dear Foreign Correspondent... I hope you find another muse!

That is such a sad commentary.

[Deja Q]

8. Lots of my peers called me one as a child... Is that what you wanted to know?

:)

[Cannikin]

10. LOL You need to stop!

:P

[Radio_Lady]

12. OT: HypnoToad, WHO is that actor? Please tell me before I drive myself to drink...

Don't worry, it's only tea!

[Radio_Lady]

13. Nevermind, I figured it out: Patrick McGoohan...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_McGoohan

Does he look like the guy from "House" -- that's Hugh ??

I am clearly not up to snuff on my English actors today...

[MarianJack]

9. Many Times With the SAME PATTERN!

When I say I'll NEVER..., then it happens!

HMMMM...I'll never win the Power Ball...I'll never win the Megabucks...I'll never be thin

This might get good!

[HEyHEY]

11. He gave me a penis didn't he?

[Jamastiene]

25. You lucky bastard.

At least he gave you something to play with. :P

[Radio_Lady]

30. C'mon, Jamastiene, you've got something to play with, too.

I see it in your picture... it's pussy!

[Jamastiene]

31. Lol, but I can't exactly spit at people I like with a

pussy without pissing it off first and I don't like to have to do that. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. I find that

oddly erotic. :D

[HEyHEY]

38. My penis?

Hey, a guy's gotta try.

[Forkboy]

15. The joke is life and he played it on all of us.

[Radio_Lady]

21. Today, PARADE Magazine treated on the subject of the probabilities of being born...

The chance of any one of us being born at all are even less than that of winning the lottery!

And then there are all those other things that "just happen" in our lives.

What you say may be true, Forkboy. Except someone here will probably ask you to capitalize the "He" in deference to the Big Jokester! Someone else will question the gender, too!

Warm regards,

Radio Lady in Oregon

[Forkboy]

26. heh...you've been at DU too long

:D

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

16. pretty much

the laughs never end. :banghead:

[Midlodemocrat]

17. My entire life has been one sick joke by my creator.

:sigh:

[auntAgonist]

19. ..

:hug:

:(

aA

[Jamastiene]

24. Sounds like we are in the same boat there.

My life feels exactly the same way.

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. I know how you can get him/her/it back

Go move his/her/its car.

:7

[Esra Star]

18. Have you tried roller coasters?

Start off on tame ones and work your way up.
Attack the ride, stick your arms in the air and scream your guts out.
See if that works.
Remember it's fuunnn!

[SPKrazy]

20. I Kinda Think So...

s/he made me a good listener, and then I married someone that I can't stand to listen to...:P

:shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. Yes, I call it "Tuesday."

[zingaro]

23. Unfortunately for me, I'm married to the butt of that joke.

[graywarrior]

27. Several times. The bastid.

[liberal renegade]

28. God does have a sense of humor

the duck billed platypus is a fine example of that... body of a beaver with a ducks bill and the furry little critter lays eggs. figure that....

[ironflange]

33. Don't forget the poisonous claws

Those are the icing on the cake.

[Random_Australian]

29. He tapped me on the shoulder, then pulled himself out of existence.

A cruel trick to play on us atheist types! :rofl:

[wildhorses]

34. he made me left handed in a right handed world

and just to piss him off... i like it that way:P

[leftofthedial]

35. yeah

and the son of a bitch's sense of humor sucks.

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. Kajillions

One very much like yours. I've been a fanatic for aircraft since I was old enough to say "Piper," but I have this odd distaste for large distances between me and the ground. x(

I could go on, but Skinner pays for only so much bandwidth.

[tonkatoy57]

41. Two that I can think off immediately

The thing that I do best in this world, without a doubt, is play a musical instrument. I probably play my instrument better than 98% of the people in the world who play my instrument. However, to get a good job playing my horn I would need to be better than 99.5% of the people who play my instrument. (A disclaimer. I could have joined a military band. I auditioned for and was accepted into the President's Own Marine band, but I just could not picture myself as a Marine. I could have gone on and gotten a Phd and tried to teach/play at the university level, but the competition for a university job is almost as bad as for an orchestra job. Did I really want to be an instructor at East Jesus State School for the Criminally Stupid?)

I love sex more than anything I can think of. To my everlasting chagrin, my wife developed a severe aversion to sex, oh, about 25 mins after we married.
