'True Story.'

edited January 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
This is my new favourite phrase. Put randomly into an utterance, it's a powerful comedic tool, imo.

True story.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

    Laugh away! I don't make so many jokes about my disability so that people feel guilty about laughing.. What am I a masorchist? :D (How do you spell that anyway, is that right?) Massarchist? Masocist? Massage therapist?

    Why does it make you feel guilty? I know your guilt comes from a good place... you don't want to offend... but I also think it comes from a subconscious feeling of pity (a little bit)... just a life observation. :o

    Long story short...my aunt went off on everyone at a family reunion one year for not treating her daughter (from a previous marriage) like everyone else. I thought I had been doing a good job including her in conversations and activities and apparently I didn't. She has MS (I think) and can't speak or control movement. I felt awful and still do to this day.

    At the risk of changing the subject of this thread (LOL!), everyone's different.. But being treated exactly the same as everyone else is exactly what I want; sometimes disability sucks monkey bollocks, but what better way is there to live through it, than to laugh? And I like to invite others to laugh with me.... Not everyone will see it my way, but I hope you do. It's my general observation (and I have to be careful, I know, I am generalising) that America (and the western world, really) is FAR too sensitive and sentimental about the whole issue :)

    Chris Rock and others laugh about their experiences of being black - Others laugh with them. What's the difference?

    Well then I have to give props to Cory then don't I, so as not to plagiarise....

    Thanks Cory. And don't worry... I don't use it in my daily life because verbally, I haven't got the comedic talents to deliver it right. You'll have to tell me how it's supposed to sound if we ever meet..

    True st... ahhh fuck it.
