Quick, call the Los Angeles Zoo ... One of their 'inmates' has escaped and taken-up residence at 7th and Montana. Meet "Serena the Hyena," a female in her mid-thirties who specializes in Laughing Like a Maniac at regular intervals. "Good Lord," I said, "Get a load of that woman's laugh ... I hope it's not infectious." At first, no one could figure out why Serena was laughing. She was sitting alone, talking to no one in particular, and her head was buried in a newspaper. Every few minutes she'd let out a guffaw that was vaguely reminiscent of the Laugh Track in bad '70s sitcoms. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I just had to see what was cracking her up and that's when I really got worried. She was engrossed in an article about the Economic Stimulus Package ...!
I could see why that was making her laugh.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure she wasn't gagging on a stale apple fritter?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one of the American Idol contestants this year (thank goodness she was voted off tonight).
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't the obituary section.
ReplyDeleteAt least she was laughing at something...ya' know there are some interesting characters hanging around there!
ReplyDeleteHer twin lives in the apartment under me.
ReplyDeleteI used to work with a guy that did that. He'd be sitting there working quietly, and then just start laughing. It kind of creeped me out!
