So Serious!

When I come onto Medium these days there’s so much seriousness in the things that people are writing about. Rob Walker Follow Dec 18, 2020 · 3 min read

Maybe it’s just me that feels in a Christmasy mood?

I came here today, as I do every day and I immediately see a plethora of posts all conveying some kind of seriousness, with headlines that all tell us how to do this or that and why this or that is happening.

It’s so consuming is the seriousness of it all. To me, it is anyway.

I know that we are all trying desperately to grab each other’s attention and good luck with that, but where is all of the fun around here?

Please excuse me if I’m talking out of turn, I’ve just spent half of a day creating a letter that I’ve sent to my son. It’s a list of jokes that will cheer him up and it was great writing them out and it was also really great to be laughing with it.

Life is so severe at the moment what with the Pandemic that’s putting everyone into a serious mode because, well, we have to.

When we think back to times before the Pandemic things were just as severe only in different ways.

Life.

Is.

Dull.

I’m not saying that what you write about is dull at all either. I fully admire a lot of what is written and I wish that I could come up with something, equally as interesting.

Give yourself a break though, damn!

Lighten up for a moment.

Maybe I’m wrong? I just hoped that I could see something to make me laugh instead of reading how to’s.

Yes, I know. Change my interests and then I’ll see more of that kind of stuff, that’s just come to me but while I’m here talking to you I thought I’d mention it. I’m writing this post because I’ve had this thought that people could do with some cheering up, especially at this time of year.

I’m not a comedian or even a funny guy but I do have a sense of humour, and over this last year that seems to have been driven into the ground with all of the worries, the rules and regulations, the limits on just about everything that we have now.

I’m going to start leaving you with a few jokes at the end of my posts in the vain attempt to cheer you up, those who read me anyway, and through that, I’m hoping to share a touch of warmth and lightness to our platform.

I get it that some of you might not find my shit funny, but I know that some of you will and, for those of you who do I hope you’ll share making someone else happy, passing on the love.

The wife hit her husband with a frying pan.

Husband: What was that for…?

Wife: I found a paper in your pocket with the name Jenny on it.

Husband: I took part in a race last week and Jenny was the name of my horse.

Wife: Sorry..!

The next day wife hit him with the frying pan again

Husband: What now..?

Wife: Your horse is on the Phone.

A drunk Irishman is stumbling through the woods when he chances upon a preacher baptizing people in the river.

He walks into the water and bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and recognizes the smell of alcohol, so he asks the drunk. “Are you ready to find Jesus?”

The drunk shouts, “Yes, I am.”

The preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. he pulls him up and asks, “Brother have you found Jesus?”

The drunk replies, “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”

The preacher dunks him into the water again for a bit longer. he pulls him out of the water and asks, “Have you found Jesus, me brother?”

The drunk shakes his head, “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”

This time the preacher dunks the drunk in the water again and holds him down for about 30 seconds. When he starts kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up.

The preacher again asks the drunk, “For the love of God have you found Jesus?”

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and asks the preacher. “Are you sure this is where he fell in?”

Merry Christmas!
