Sitting at work the other day, my mind wandered to various subjects - namely: abuse and why it's funny. As i do when i think about anything these days, i wondered if it would be an appropriate subject to explore through this high quality website. the answer i arrived at was yes - decidedly.
Many of you may be thinking "abuse? funny? not possible!" I tell you, my friends, it is. (Actually, with this site's list of visitors, you're likely sitting there nodding your head in agreement)
Now, before you get too excited, I'm not saying it's ok for one person to knock the shit out of a helpless, stunned person. What I'm saying is it's hilarious - but only if bystanders are around to witness. If you must get sucker-punched, doesn't it make you feel better to know that some good came out of it - namely another's (read: my) amusement.
Still not convinced? Even if you are - and with the Snaggle's readership, I'm more than sure you are - you will appreciate this story that validates my point.
We've included photographic evidence (read: Brett's good with photoshop) to help you, dear reader, comprehend just how funny abuse can be when it's done right, in vegas and naked.
[Editor's note: Photoshop talents clearly not exaggerated.]
To illustrate my point, I'll first describe the story as if no one were around to witness. Friend A is sleeping when Friend B returns from a big night out and decides "hey! what better thing could i do at this present moment than jump on Friend A's bed and perform some rendition of a fred astaire tap dance" (note: it's funnier to imagine when you consider Friend B has a descriptively suitable prefix to his name that rhymes with "Cat").
Friend A disagrees with Friend B's assessment and thinks Friend B, in fact, could find more productive ways to spend his time. To let him know this, Friend A leaps naked from his bed and begins to strangle Friend B.
This is abuse.
And yet when seen through a wider scope, you'll notice that there were four other people in the room to witness this attack. This transforms the domestic squabble from the realm of violent assault and into the genre of comedy.
Take the events of the next day, where Friend B was left with a sore throat and disorder some expert psychologists would liken to stockholm syndrome. Friend B was not allowed to complain about his discomfort because every time he brought it up, the witnesses just laughed. No one seemed to mind that Friend B was still keen to hang out with Friend A after Friend A charged at him with exposed genitalia. Friend B was quick to recognize that with witnesses around, it was a funny case of abuse and not one that required him to seek consultation from this website. Because witnesses were there to make this event memorably hilarious, Friend B also realized it wouldn't be necessary to avenge his strangulation with a well-timed sucker punch (Note to Friend B: should you ever decide to pursue this course of action, per the lessons of this article, give us a heads up - we'll be there with bells on.)
