maybe, we were on their turf. But I think they were happy enough trying to dance to "oh what a night". I remember saying "this will drag them out of the woodworks", sure enough they flocked to the floor.
My life was full of angst ridden loneliness, rejection and heartbreak. I would take the laughs where ever I could get them.

Yeah, they don't cure the deepest wounds, but music and laughter are two of my favorite medicines too, aussie.
I have to confess that I actually like the song.
However, I'm not dancing to it while I listen, so don't point and laugh at me.

Aussie, have you ever been high? I must have asked you that before but I can't recall. I'd love to get buzzed with you. I'm kinda chuckling just thinking about it.
hell yes. In the 90s. One time, I was with these friends and the nightclubs open after midnight on Good Friday. So we had ordered a cab to come and get us and take us to this nightclub called The Mass. It was an alternative nightclub there, way way hip joint. Too cool for school.
This cab arrived and the body of it was odd and square that obviously could take a wheelchair. We got in and just sat there laughing and laughing, and the cab driver was laughing too. Here we are looking I mean, like musicians, fabulously glamorous in this weird vehicle.
Then I thought of a joke and I couldn't get it out because I knew the punchline and just kept laughing. I had to discipline myself and get it out in bits, I said "when we get to The Mass they will all be looking at us wondering if we are popstars or spastics (retards)", none of us could speak the rest of the trip we just kept laughing and laughing. When we got to The Mass it was closed for Good Friday! So here is this hip sacreligious joint closed for Good Friday. We ended up going to this sleazy pick up joint where we stood out and people with poor dress sense and men with bad hair cuts danced and we sat and watched as though they were putting on a freakshow for us. It was entertaining, but got boring.
This is funny....it probably still makes you smile. There is nothing more priceless than the chance just to be silly (and a little high or tipsy) while sharing moment with a friend....Humor and laughter gets us through the tough times, Aussie....keep up the good work....

You know if you ever come to the USA that I want you to come here, right? I'd take you anywhere you wanted to go on the East Coast and show you a good time. We'd have fun, Aussie. I imagine much laughter.

Watch that Peter Sellers movie 'I love you Alice B. Toklas' next time you have a smoke. Even if you watch it on youtube. You will laugh your head off, especially when they eat the brownies.

I don't trust your opinion of comedy.

I don't need anything to laugh like that. I wouldn't indulge these days. I have seen the down side of both drugs and alcohol on people. The other thing, I could lose my registration if I got caught doing something I ought not to be doing.
I do think that definitely it should be used in medicine. There is evidence that it does work, and also offers relief for those who need it during the palliative stage of cancer.

I wasn't saying we needed weed to laugh, just that I know we'd have a fun time together and it would be a lot of laughs.
