I love to laugh

...so it's good I'm married to Jack. Last night when we were going to bed, he had me laughing to the point of crying and coughing. It was because of the following conversation (to preface it, I have to mention that we have a little plant stand, aka Toby's pedestal, right outside our bedroom door, and as I came to bed I commented how Toby was sitting on his little pedestal). Here was the gist of the conversation:

Jack: That cat loves me so much. He just sits on that pedestal all night, waiting for me to come out in the morning.

Me: There's no way he sits on that pedestal all night long.

Jack: But he's always right there, waiting, when I get up.

Me: I think he hears your alarm clock go off and then gets on the pedestal.

Jack: Oh, I never thought about that.

He was also telling me about the "lies" he tells his passengers when doing tours. Apparently he gets bored doing the same tour over and over, so he makes up stories. For example, he convinced his passengers yesterday that he worked as a Chippendales dancer to pay his way through flight school. Then after the flight, he overheard some of his female passengers talking about him, to the point that the guys they were with had to tell them they'd heard enough talk about this pilot guy. :) He also likes to tell people it's his first flight and that his only experience is in flight simulators.

We were also talking about Jack's recent problem with flatulence. I think it might have something to do with his significant changes in diet, i.e. eating once a day, then Paleo, then back to a normal diet, etc. But it is definitely BAD. He says something's rotting inside him, ha ha. :) So that whole conversation involved lots of laughter. He was telling me how he has passed gas in the helicopter, and just lets everyone blame whoever they want. On another day he was talking about flying back from the canyon and how he really needed to fart, but had to hold it in. When I asked him why he didn't just fart, he was like "No way!" Because apparently the ride back from the canyon is plenty long for people to use the process of elimination and figure out who did it. :) I wonder if that would affect his tips...

Jack recently fell off the helicopter....yes, it does happen. Apparently the footholds are really small, and they have to climb on the helicopter to clean it or something. Anyways, he fell from about 5 feet high onto the ground, right onto his arm. I've voiced plenty of concern that he should get it checked out, so to prove to me that the arm his fine, he swung it around pretty good and fast. So then I was like, "Wow, did that hurt?" to which he had to respond, "Yeah, I guess it did." It was funny. And I don't know why, but I think it's kind of funny to say that he fell off the helicopter. Not funny that he got hurt, and not funny to think about how scary it would have looked had I seen it happen in action. But funny to say he fell off the helicopter. His elbow has since healed up pretty well, so I guess it was fine.

I don't know...maybe these aren't that funny. Maybe you had to be there. But I wanted to record them somewhere so I wouldn't forget. :)
