That's right, it's the bunny eating a cookie that makes me laugh. I've got a new "bunny with a cookie", by which I mean something that I laugh about every time I think about it and I keep thinking that I'm going to get over it and the next time I think about it, it won't make me laugh, so I keep testing it and so far, still laughing.
My New Bunny
At work, we have weekly meetings between myself, the Saint, the Queen of All (aka my boss) and Fargo (the lone boy in our group of misfits). We talk about how it's going, what we're working on and any complaints or awesome stuff that's happened. Mostly.
Sometimes, we gossip. Sometimes.
Fargo: I wonder when S is supposed to be due?
(S is the head of our division)
The Saint & myself: S is pregnant?
Queen of All: <>
The Saint: Are you sure?
Fargo: Either she's pregnant, or she got really fat in one particular area. Seriously, she's either pregnant or it's time for Weight Watchers!
The Saint: -gasp-
(Can you tell who the nice one is in our group?)
The Saint: Have her boobs gotten any bigger?
(Being nice doesn't preclude you from asking the practical question.)
We all turn to Fargo, who gives us a blank stare in return that I take to mean, either he hasn't noticed, hasn't looked or doesn't want to admit that he has noticed or looked.
Queen of All: Well, she did just get married not that long ago. She had 1200 people at her wedding.
Me: I guess it's possible she got married and just decided to let herself go. I don't know how you can tell she's got a belly. She's always wearing a sari when I see her lately.
Fargo: Well yeah, if she's pregnant she's going to be wearing looser clothes.
Queen of All: Yeah, but I saw her bend over last week. If you're pregnant and you bend over, you can't just bend in half. The baby doesn't bend, right?
We all look to the Saint, since she's the only one of us who has been pregnant.
The Saint: Well, the baby doesn't really bend.
Me: Well I can't say really, I've never had the occasion to see S bend over and I don't know that I would have noticed if she had.
Fargo: I see S a lot. I'll have to pay attention if she bends over.
Me: Really? You're going follow S around and watch if she bends over?
The rest of us starting laughing hysterically while Fargo turned bright red and stammered that that was not what he meant AT ALL for a few minutes.
Later that day, I was at the gym and I was kind of in a pissy mood for no particular reason. I randomly thought about Fargo following S around waiting for her to bend over and I laughed. Out loud. At the gym.
It's possible that the people there think I'm insane now, laughing to myself (if they didn't already), but what do they know?
I've got a new bunny.

That's hilarious! Really, the folks at the gym might think you were laughing at a podcast you were listening to while you worked out. Who cares what they think (except Tats of course)
That would have been a great excuse, if only I had been listening to my iPod at that time. But, alas, it had died. One of the reasons I was kind of annoyed.
Oh, well. What are you going to do?
