I have always been a square peg in a round hole, so yes, I did not fit in at the Kingdom Hall. Everyone in my family had a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, being the youngest of six, I picked up a lot from my brothers, I think I started reading my their Mad magazines when I was very young. I also listened to their comedy albums, like Bob Newhart. I really didn't have a chance to be normal. Sometimes I wish I could be like everyone else, it would have made life easier, but I am what I am, and I was lucky to find someone who shares my weird sense of humor, he came from a similar family.
One of my favorites from many years ago was Emo Phillips. He took strange to a whole different level. My favorite is a joke about religion :
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
