What is Funny?


Funny is calling the fire dept because of a strong and odd odor when you walk in the front door with your arms filled with groceries and thinking that the house was going to blow up but, as the firemen were kind enough to explain within 5 seconds of entering the house (in full gear, axes and all) really the natural gas leak was caused by a skunk spraying your dog in the face.

And 
funny is the neighbors have lined the street  wondering what's going on and are told by the fire fighters that you don't know what a skunk smells like.

And 
funny is Bill coming down the street just as the fire department and their big trucks are leaving, seeing you sheepishly standing in the front yard.

And 
funny is your previously all-white dog first stained yellow in the face from the skunk and then stained orange from an hour-long and pointless shower in tomato juice.

And 
funny is Teddy getting home and asking if someone was giving themselves a home perm.

And 
funny is trying to get the skunk smell out of the house the night before you are supposed to host your book club.

And 
funny is not being able to sleep because your house reeks of skunk.
