Five things that make me laugh every single time

What can I say? Some things are just innately humorous.

#1. Stonehenge
Ever since I saw “This is Spinal Tap,” just hearing the word “Stonehenge” makes me laugh. If you haven’t seen the movie, I won’t ruin it for you, but let me just say that Stonehenge tops my list of inherently funny things. Needless to say, I have acquired a few Stonehenge themed items over the years. My Stonehenge clock always reminds me that it’s time for a laugh,
and my Stonehenge playing cards make my lonely, endless games of Solitaire slightly less depressing.

#2. Head Cheese


If you don’t know what head cheese is, allow me to enlighten you:

“Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head,chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.”

Mmmmm… who’s hungry? I know I am. And you can set this wonderful image as wallpaper. Go ahead. You know you want to.

#3. The Mona Lisa



The Mona Lisa is funny for the same reason Stonehenge is - the utter ubiquity of her enigmatic mug plastered upon everything from cookie jars to beaded curtains.


#4. Abraham Lincoln

Honestly, Abe isn’t funny for the same reasons as the Mona Lisa. Abe hasn’t been done to death – yet. Abraham Lincoln has always been an icon of a solemn and sorrowful period for our nation. And this should be the image that comes to mind, right? Not even close. When I hear the words “Abraham Lincoln” this is my mental image:
Although in this picture from “The Savage Curtain,” Abe looks a little more like Sasquatch than our 16^th President. #5. Fishing Lures

Now I have to admit that just hearing the words “fishing lures” doesn’t make me laugh, but it's possible that they just might be the most hilarious things on the planet. God, I can spend HOURS browsing the lures in a sporting goods store, and I don’t even fish. Not only are the lures themselves funny, but even the names are priceless.

Here we have the “Gene Larew Hoo-Daddy, Jr,” which, minus the hook, closely resembles some kind of weird sex toy.

And this is a "4 Inch Craw Rib Tube" that again, looks like some weird, kinky sex toy. I wonder where you put the batteries?

This isn't disturbing or menacing at all. It's the lure with a heart.
I heart "4 Inch Twin Tail Jig Grabbers."

Now these are just plain weird.
They're appropriately named "4 Inch Bad Blood Tubes."
And I say appropriately because they look like tampons.

"Before and After" Bad Blood Tampons, er... tubes.
If tampons had little sparkly tails, that is.

Then there's the "9 Inch Salty Snake."

And now I have to quit because I just realized that I am a complete pervert with a fishing lure fetish. More later.
