Terry and I have many things in common, but we also differ in enough ways to make life interesting.
Take, for example, what each of us finds funny. Again, there is some overlap, but overall, our individual senses of humor are markedly different.
WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH: British comedy, the Airplane! move series, standup comedians who make you work a little to get the joke, puns, and the broad genre of dad jokes.
WHAT MAKES TERRY LAUGH: Any time I hit my head on something.
As far as I can tell, nothing in this world is funnier to my wife than when I experience some sort of misfortune, particularly physical misfortune that results in near-injury.
She will tell you it's not so much the actual act of me, say, bumping my skull on something, but rather the way I react to it.
All I know is there is an undeniable link between my pain and her amusement.
If we could somehow find a movie that combines Monty Python-style humor with a man randomly popping up and whacking me over the head with a stick, it would be the perfect date night for us.
