Yes. Sometimes I too don't make the word connection especially when it is a regional colloquialism I seldom hear used.
As a writer and poet I am drawn to word expressions in prose. I never really enjoyed demeaning jokes, racial or offensive jokes growing up as a kid, yet in this age of political correctness I understand that even the humor expressed between close friends can be and likely is misinterpreted by third parties not part of the conversation.
Puns were always a part of my life, and remain to this day.
There is so much real tragedy and difficulties in life we all face or who have family and friends facing, that humor that can give us just a brief chuckle, is beneficial to our well being I think.
I find that I laugh at myself more than ever these days. I hope I can bring a smile to others somewhere along the way in my journey through this wonderful thing we share called life.
Blessings again,
Everett

Re: A Tragedy
A robust sense of humor is a secret to longevity(assuming something else does not prevail). Does a lot for 'quality' as well. I feel sorry for those who are deficient. However I will express much more than a chuckle in public in spite of their presence. Why should I let their shortcomings create some for myself?
See the tragedy in that?
P.S. "political correctness" is an "oxymoron".

Humor makes life so much more enjoyable. Hopefully we're all here for a long time. Let's enjoy our stay.
As I grow older, the seriousness of life's travails wanes to near non existence. Some folks don't understand that. Their loss.
