"THE LONG WAIT"
Sometimes when i am waiting in a line i will see someone that is just unusually ugly. I will think to myself,"my god this person is ugly!" If you were to look around while in a line at all the people around, you would notice allot of funny looking people. I know it makes me sound horrible but i cant help it, im always looking for the next good laugh. The second thing that i look for good looking women. Yes, i am your typical guy, if i see a gorgeous female around i am going to look. Its always interesting to see what females have on that day(no offense ladies), they can get creative with their attire thats for sure. Another thing that i sometimes think about when im in a long agonizing line, you know the one I'm talking about, the one that you have to stand in for hours because you have no choice. I like to think about things I've done that wasn't funny when it happened but is funny to me now. For instance, there was this one time when i was at party, the night was going great so far, I was on my way to being completely plastered and was talking to this gorgeous girl, it couldn't have gotten any better. Well, as the night went on, the girl was getting really really drunk and she starts telling me about her ex boyfriend and all, then she proceeds to tell me that she is not feeling well, i knew what that meant immediately! I rushed her to the bathroom and was holding her hair while she revisited her supper when the door slung open, I jumped up, proceeded to face the door when i saw this lanky looking guy staring at me. Without saying a word, he swung a bat at me. it connected right across the side of my unfortunate at the time, unusually large head. I didn't remember much after that but soon got filled in on the whole escapade. What makes it so funny to me now is that, before the bat connected with my face, everything went into slow motion and all i could think while it was coming down was,"I wonder how bad this is going to hurt?" Let me tell you, it didnt feel good the next day! Come to find out it was her ex boyfriend. Needless to say, I stayed away from that girl!
Waiting lines don't always have to be boring. If you take the time to look around at all the things around you, i'm sure you will find something to appease your humor. One of the funniest things for me while in line is to look around at all the different kinds of beards that are around. Sometimes a guy just needs to know when to shave get rid of it. The best one for me is the young kids, their beards are usually ratty looking and patchy. I get a kick out of that. I remember when i thought that i was the man because i had facial hair too.
