Humor Is My Refuge

There are those who revel in a sea of doom and gloom, and many who see the world with blind eyes, but I am one who prefers to seek refuge in a cloak of humor. Often, enjoying humor is inappropriate, and it can be hard to find, but you have to remember, I am a dreamer and live in a world hidden from view.

Dreamers often see things from a different perspective. Realists are too connected to the facts, figures, and laws that govern existence. Dreamers spend much of their time disassociated from truth. For those who aren’t funny by nature, they must seek pleasure from someone who is a little different.


Aaron Wilford, comedian

A good friend sent me a link to a humorous video of a comedian named, Aaron Wilburn. He is often unconventional to say the least, but I think he is a perfect example of someone of another world. I think his humor is worth noting, and I am bringing it to you.



In the video, Aaron tells us about several unusual country western song titles. Songs like:
“How can I miss you when you won’t go away?”
“If the phone doesn’t ring, you’ll know it’s me.”
“When you leave walkout backwards so I think you are walking in.”
“If I shot you when I wanted to, I’d be out by now.”
“If you won’t leave me alone, I’ll find someone who will.”
“I’m so miserable without you; it’s almost like having you here.”
“Sorry I made you cry, but at least your face is cleaner.”
“Take me out to the cornfield honey; I’ll kiss you between the ears.”
“The oil is all in Texas but the dipsticks are all in DC.”

The title song that Aaron sings in the video is:
“If my nose was running money, I’d blow it all on you.”

If you listen to the video, I think you will agree that Aaron Wilburn isn’t one of us. In fact, I think he is very special. He is not only humorous and a creative artist, but he gives us humor without four-letter-words or sexual innuendoes. I am old enough to remember back when all comedians performed humor like this. Red Skelton, Jerry Lewis, and Bill Cosby are but a few great examples.

I hope I can entertain my readers without having to lower to cheep vulgarity. If that day ever comes, that will be the last day I write. Aaron Wilbern video can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egCeIwjIuZM
A special thanks to Aaron Wilburn for his talent, as well as to my friend, Chris.
