How Do You Know It’s Funny Unless Somebody Laughs?

Spirit Made Me Laugh

Okay, so I am deliberately going to try to write something funny. Ah, maybe I’ll go get dressed and then do it. No, I’m not kidding. This is where I usually clam up. I have less trouble if I intend on writing something motivational or inspirational but funny. I have a hard time.

One of my guides said, “Go on. Just go out on a limb.” Ah, they are funnier, by far, than I am. Maybe we should talk to them instead. At least, this piece might be more interesting. By the way, Guide Speak is in a bold italic font. My stuff is in the regular font.

Hi.

Hi yourself. Did you intend on being funny today?

Well, yes. That’s the point. I’m not sure I can be.

Worrying about it will not make it so. Now, what are you worried about?

Well, I’m coughing.

I think that is a ploy.

What if I had diarrhea? Would that be a ploy?

It might be. You’d be surprised at how your body reacts to circumstances. Remember what it was like to get romantic?

Jesus, where are you going with this?

Do you want to talk to Jesus? We can arrange that.

No. Not literally. I just said it.

Well, one of the commandments is not to take the Lord’s name in vain.

I’m sorry. Okay, so you’re saying you can have any sort of physical reaction to anything.

I wouldn’t say anything unless it was the Orange Haired One as you tend to call him.

Hell, he’d give anybody diarrhea.

When are you going to learn how to spell that?

I could say runny poo.

Be careful. The secretary is writing all this down for later.

Runny poo. Runny poo. Runny poo.

See? That wasn’t hard. And it was funny.

If you like barnyard humor.

We do.

I want to explain something. Even though I talk to Folk in Spirit that does not make me a religious person. I like to identify more as a spiritual person. Not all the time, but overall. Sort of. I’m what they call a medium.

The first time I realized I was talking to Jesus is when I stubbed my toe in the shower. You know that metal railing that keeps the shower door from crashing in on you in the shower? Yes, that one. Hurt like the dickens. Anyway, I belted out a “JESUS” really loud. And, somebody said, “What?”

That was a showstopper moment for me. We’ve been on good terms since then.

I also believe in the “What Goes Around Comes Around” scenario. It’s karma. I also believe in reincarnation which will spread some of that karma around over your different lifetimes. So, if you don’t feel you deserve something think again. Maybe you do.

I also learned that the saying, “Don’t say bad things about the dead” doesn’t hold any water. If you want to be mad at a dead person, go ahead and get it off your chest. They don’t care and you will not be endangering your soul or theirs. Whatever happened with the interred party is something you still need to work out. Best of luck to you.

Oh, and an important one: The people, animals, and I suppose plants who have passed on to the Great Beyond can still hear you. I hadn’t capitalized that and somebody in Spirit told me to go back and put some capital letters on Great Beyond. Anyway, just talk to them. You can do it silently if you want or maybe write a letter and tuck it away in your sock drawer.

I tell all my therapists I talk to dead people. It gets that out of the way right off the bat and then we can talk about other things.

Hope you enjoyed this piece. And just a reminder. Spirit isn’t all that far away.
