Welcome to Watercooler Wednesday, where the water is above-average, the topics are bubbly, and the company is sparkling.
You may have noticed things getting a little gloomy out there lately; early snow, early nightfall, colder temps, bare trees. It seems high time for:
Another Round of Belly Laughs!
Let’s start with some good news…
1. Looks like Congress can finally agree on something:

2. I suspect many of our nation’s leaders graduated from schools like the one below:

3. We also have “gifted” folks on the roads, who like to creatively express themselves through bumper stickers. Here are some road-rage-oriented messages, courtesy of Marcia Richards’ fabulous blog. Check out the rest of the list at her post: Sweet, Sexy Obsessions: Laughter.
- Keep honking. I’m reloading.
- Honk if you want to learn sign language
- Honk if you’ve never seen a gun fired from a moving vehicle
- If you can read this, I can slam on my brakes and sue you
4. If the roads get too rough, you can always call on a Texas Ranger to help you – or, better yet, Chuck Norris:

5. And, finally, I’d like to leave you with a group of folks who really know how to have a good laugh. I was inspired to find this after reading a raunchy wonderful post by the ever-talented Jenny Hansen. The clip below is a great example of comic actor Tim Conway’s outrageous ad-lib digressions. (And yes, that’s Dick Van Dyke on the set, too). It’s in front of a live studio audience during the taping of the Carol Burnett Show:
Got a favorite laugh you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you!
Until next time,
Kathy
Hilarious! “When Chuck Norris touches water he doesn’t get wet, the water gets Chuck Norris.” I laughed so hard when I read that! Just what I needed today.
I’m so glad, Emma! We all need a good laugh at times. Thanks for the visit!
This was too funny! Loved the Chuck Norris list.
Isis, I’ve been seeing such funny “Chuck Norris” stuff lately. Kohl’s has a bunch of these things made up as T-shirts. I loved the one about Chuck being dead 10 years but the Grim Reaper was too scared to tell him! Thanks for stopping by!
The Carol Burnett Show has so many great clips where someone started ad-libbing and the whole thing went crazy. Apparently, Tim Conway was a master at this. Hilarious!
I loved the Carol Burnett Show. I remembered watching it as a kid!
So honored you linked to my Undie Chronicles in this delicious post! I love the Carol Burnett clip and I’m off to read Marcia’s blog, but are you sure that dog wasn’t photoshopped into the Senate picture?? LOL.
Well the Senate pic and story were from The Onion, a parody news publication, so that’s entirely possible. I was actually thinking of you when I found the Chuck Norris list – “Thunderwear” would fit him perfectly. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Jenny!
I will never grow tired of Tim Conway’s siamese elephants. Snorkie!
Ah, someone else who remembers! Love him. Thanks, Sherry, for visiting!
Hahaha!
I miss the Carol Burnett Show!
Me, too, Susie!
Oh my god K.B., I saw this video on was it Natalie Hartman’s blog? the other day. It is hilarious! My husband and I just cracked up with tears running down our faces.
Thanks K.B., I needed a good laugh. And I also miss Carol Burnett and Tim Conway.
I posted it in the comments section of Jenny Hansen’s blog – it was just too good not to use again for my blog! So glad you and hubs enjoyed it. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
It’s great to watch things as an adult that I first enjoyed in youth – I appreciate things so much more! Laughter IS great medicine – my immune system thanks you!!!
Thanks, Celeste! We all need a good belly laugh from time to time!
Ha! Love the dog neckerchiefs. What great holiday gifts! 😉
There you go: for the Senator’s dog who has everything, LOL. Thanks, August!
OMG, I laughed until tears ran down my face. The Chuck Norris stuff was bad enough, and then the video. Priceless. Tim Conway was just a comedic genius, and his timing was something else. Thanks so much for posting this. Needed the laugh!
Yeah, that Chuck Norris/Tim Conway combo is killer! Only on the internet will you see such a juxtaposition, lol. Thanks so much, Stacy, for stopping by!
Chuck Norris is awful selfish to keep his cancer-curing tears to himself. That jerk!
I just read #5. Crap. ::runs away::
LOL, Thoughtsy! I love the “water gets Chuck Norris.” So glad you came by for a visit!
The dog looks quite adorable in that neckerchief.
I love funny t-shirts — I need to check Kohl’s for the Chuck Norris inspired ones, ha,ha.
Oh, Carol Burnett — she never fails to make me laugh so hard, I can hardly breathe!
Great post 🙂
That was last season – haven’t been to Kohl’s in a while. Who knows? Could be Tim Conway shirts now, haha. I SO love Carol Burnett, too! Thanks, Angela!
So good! I love laugh-out-loud posts. The world needs another Carol Burnett show! Thanks so much for every one of these.
Thanks to YOU, Patricia, for being so supportive! Love those laughs.
