What tickles your “Funny Bone”?

There are 206 bones in the typical adult human body, yet one of our most important bones is not numbered among them: the “Funny Bone”.

We’ve all had many experiences with our Funny Bones, yet you won’t find it anywhere on your doctor’s anatomical chart. How dull life would be without a Funny Bone to tickle now and again!

So what tickles your Funny Bone? Is it a particular show, a scene from a movie, a website, a video, or a picture? Is it a certain expression on your loved one’s face, or maybe even a particular comment that someone makes?

One of the things that always does it for me is Tom Hanks’ laugh in “The Money Pit”, when the tub falls through the floor. If you aren’t familiar with it, I posted a video of that last Monday.

Below are a baker’s dozen of the things that always make me laugh–whether from humor or sheer joy.

What tickles your Funny Bone? Add your list in the comments section!

  1. Tom Hanks’ laugh in “The Money Pit”
  2. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
  3. This best of Damn You Auto Correct! for 2011 (warning: includes risqué’ adult content!)
  4. Stepping off the plane in Honolulu
  5. Seeing my youngest daughter zip down the staircase, legs stuck out in front of her, like she’s on a slide at the park
  6. Watching my 16-year-old senior citizen cat behaving like an aerialist kitten while under the influence of a Kitty Can’t Cope Sack (Trust me–if you have a cat, you need these.)
  7. I Can Has Cheezburger
  8. Epic Fails
  9. Space Mountain at Disneyland
  10. My husband’s impersonations (especially The Flamboyant Ninja)
  11. Anything by Anne Taintor (you must see her website!)
  12. The “Rose is Rose” comic strip
  13. This picture…

    DON'T MESS WITH ME.

    DON'T MESS WITH ME.

…Now it’s your turn. What makes you laugh every time?
