The minute I hit 'post,' I knew I would remember lots more funny things. And I did. A few need recognition:
1. The time that Leslie, Jeanette, Jana and I went geo-caching at the Boise mall when Jana was a few days from giving birth to my first grandson. Never mind that we're acting like Nancy Drew wannabes searching for some invisible prize, crawling around behind shrubbery, looking into the potted plants in the mall itself (yes, we found it). What was hilarious was when Jana had to go to the bathroom. HAD to go. And was laughing. And was outside the mall. No, she didn't do that!! She just ran (as only a 9 month pregnant woman can) into Sears, demanded that the nearest clerk tell her where a bathroom was and then gave him a withering stare when he whispered, "Upstairs." We were right behind her and the man was literally trembling. She made it!
2. The Pam and Jana Detective Agency. Our most famous case (infamous--that means more than famous, Three Amigos quote) was tracking down an elusive painter on his lunch hour in the Collister area. We staked out one poor house for an hour whose workers had taken some time off, only to not recognize our painter when they came back. We went into a nursing home to ask directions (? to what? we didn't have an address) and somehow cleverly found the person, who married Jana anyway even though she and her mother are dorks.
3. Cody driving backwards in the middle of Missouri or some nearby state while we were looking for Amish people. "It can't be over there--I see power lines." Sam, you missed that trip. Another reason to be thankful for your mission.

Things That are Hilarious
I've noticed a rather somber tone in my blogs thus far. Since what I'm writing are essays, I could just excuse myself by saying I'm a serious person writing about serious things. That would be false, though. I'm a funny person writing mostly about serious things. So, in the event that I'm creating a downer blog for the huge group of 5 people I've given this address to, I'm going to record things wherein I find humor.
Really stupid jokes. Here are my current favorites: What did the fish say when he ran into the concrete wall? Dam. What did one cannibal say to the other cannibal when they finished eating the clown? Did that meat taste funny to you?
Really funny movies. 1. Sgt. Bilko (Steve Martin version) Ooh, bad turnout.
2. The Three Amigos (again, Steve Martin, hmmm) Could it be Jefe, that once again you are mad at something else and are taking it out on me? (not verbatim) 3. Get Smart I'll have to wait and see it again with Quinn to find my favorite lines. We laughed so hard it hurt.
Pretty funny TV shows. Anything Tina Fey writes or stars in is hilarious. It's true.
Sam.
Memories. Singing a hymn in Church with David about 40 years ago in Twin Falls. We'd finished the third out of 4 verses when he vigorously closed the book and prepared for the closing prayer when we immediately (duh) noticed everyone else was still singing. We laughed so hard during the prayer I could feel the pew shaking.
Playing any number of games with Hunters at their house with all or several of their children and mine. Justin and Ryan are almost as funny as their father and their Aunt Pam.
David and Sage introducing us to the game Who, What, Where. If you've never heard of it or played it, I feel very sorry for you.
Playing golf one year with Larry and maybe David but mostly I remember Ryan and Justin and Quinn. Quinn was playing for his first time and Ryan kept calling him Lucy or Sally or something. I just remember it being very very funny. And since I believe we were playing on Dec. 17, the anniversary of my father's birth, it's nice that I remember laughing and not freezing.
Telling jokes, watching Get Smart and My Favorite Martian, and just hanging around my father, the original very funny Hunter family member.
Flocking a Christmas tree in our patio in Twin Falls and Larry and David making me laugh so hard that, thank you very much, I did actually wet my pants, not that it's any of your business!
