Three Elements of Fun

"Grandpa,
why is it so
fun when I
jump on the
bed?"
"Well my
little chancre,
jumping on
the bed is
fun cuz it
incorporates
the three
elements of
all fun stuff
....physical
activity, an
element of
danger and
weightlessness
....check it out
....when you're
playing a sport
like volleyball
you got the
physical
activity of
chasing after
the ball that
some knuckle-
head hit into
the next court
and you got
the element
of danger of
when some
knucklehead
spikes the
ball onto your
flat Visayan
nose, and you
got your bit of
weightlessness
when some
knucklehead
serves a big
arcing under-
hand serve
cuz he don't
know how to
overhand it."
"Well you old
decrepit ape,
that's all good
except how
come your
wife finds
shopping for useless crap like shoes and bags so fun?"
"Well, my little berry of the dingle, she gets her physical
activity from pushing the shopping cart full of crap, and
she gets the element of danger of not finding anything on
sale but buying it anyway or sometimes the danger of
buying something on sale even though we don't really
need it and she gets the weightlessness part when she
sees our credit rating fly away."
"Wow Grandpa, that doesn't sound like as much fun
as jumping on a bed."
