After posting Writing Essentials: Humor Monday Update 3/24 the humor kept flowing in. I'm adding some of those here so they don't get missed by you who read the last Update and thought it was all over.

Additional articles for your amusement, in no particular order are:

A Housewife's Lament by sheila j.
A very funny poem about a modern day kitchen tragedy.

Aging Gracelessly by Kimberly Ripley
A woman rejects that society rejects that's she's getting older.

Why, I Oughta... by Beth. H.
A funny twist on "coulda, shoulda ... oughta"

Comedy novels by Mameve Medwed
A serious article on the state of funny, at least in novels. This was featured on gather's homepage and Gather Essentials: Books
 
Feathers and Fur Part II / Saturday at Moggy's (photo essay) by Moggy K.
Who says you can't have a converstion with the animals in your backyard?

IS WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT CHAIRMAN: Mr VINCE McMAHON ABOUT TO BECOME THE NEXT US SECRETARY OF STATE? by Michael C.
The title tells it all. The article explains why.

 
Getting Lucky on MySpace: My Chat with Joy by G.M. Lupo
The art of Internet dating with ALL the details.

The Eyes of Texas by Marge H.
Another humorous 100 word story. You'll never bid for moldy bread on eBay again.

P E Z O L C F T D by Casey Dennis
If you're not getting older, skip this article.

In total Humor Monday 3/24 offers 25 different ways to tickle your funny bone this week.

Since writing this, I'm sure there are even more at Gather Essentials: Writing, I'm just afraid to look.

Have a great week y'all.

John

I snoop out humor wherever it is, Jane,
John Philipp Mar 25, 2008, 1:57pm EDT
Lyla, I'd modify that by saying there have always been some political elements in the Olympics. That's human nature.
Bonnie F. Mar 25, 2008, 2:49pm EDT
These are wonderful. I especially enjoyed My Chat With Joy. We all need more humor in our lives to exercise our smile muscles. Thanks John.

Marianne, it's the least I can do to publicize the good work here.
William Dotani Mar 26, 2008, 4:09am EDT
I read Marge's. I could not understand why she did not have Popsicles in her story, but that's another story. I've been rather busy the past two days. My first priority in reading is to reciprocate to those commenting on my articles. After that I will surf and read other articles. It is nice of you to post this list.
John Philipp Mar 26, 2008, 7:30am EDT
Thanks, William. Have a good week.
