I need to ramp up my humor. TM doesn't laugh at my jokes anymore.
Her friends laugh to the point of peeing themselves, but she just rolls her eyes and says to them "I've lived with her all my life, I'm used to her"

Any suggestions? I'm thinking of adding a bunny and a midget clown covered in buttons to my routine.

8. No. I'm more like the mom in Still Standing.
On the humor front, anyway. Not the neglect front.

13. Get a slapstick. Or a Whoopee Cushion. Works every time.
The phrase comes from the battacchio—called the 'slap stick' in English—a club-like object composed of two wooden slats used in Commedia dell'arte. When struck, the battacchio produces a loud smacking noise, though little force is transferred from the object to the person being struck. Actors may thus hit one another repeatedly with great audible effect while causing very little actual physical damage. Along with the inflatable bladder (of which the whoopee cushion is a modern variant), it was among the earliest forms of special effects that could be carried on one's person.

17. I'm just talking normal everyday stuff here.
My online persona is pretty much like my IRL persona ie, I don't take a whole lot seriously. No, I don't take much of anything seriously.

21. DS1 could provide you some "fresh" material...
...they may not laugh, but at the very least they'll be left speechless.
