My best friend asked me, "Hey, Barb, cat got your tongue?" I laughed til I cried, then laughed some more.

My brother listened while I explained about the skin graft taken from my leg, and he finally said, "So I guess after this, you'll be running at the mouth."

I know, my humor's a little on the crude side, but, sometimes, ya gotta laugh to keep from crying.
