Sometimes, the funniest things in life aren’t intentional. For example, I’ll never forget when I was in grad school and I was helping set up for a Kwanzaa program. It was about fifteen minutes before the program was to start, and someone decided to see if the music was working.
Coincidentally, an African gentleman was walking into the door with a drum and dressed in traditional African gear right at the same time. So imagine my laughter when I see the dude at the door and the music started instantly. It was like the start to a remake of “Shaft in Africa.”
Funny stuff.
So I was talking to a good friend today, and this is how the conversation ended.
“Aight dude, I’m pulling up to Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary to talk to some inmates. I’ll talk to you later.”
For some reason, that made me laugh in a way that I don’t when someone says, “my mama’s on the other line, let me call you back.”

Haha… was that the same Kwanzaa program in which one of the esteemed black professors corrected everyone in the by saying that Kwanzaa was pronounced “Kwanzaa-a”?
He then went on to have everyone repeat after him… “Kwanzaa-a! Kwanzaa-a!”…the puzzled looks on the faces of the rest of the black professors as well as everyone else in the room was priceless.
Easily one of the funniest moments of my college years.
“Yeah, Bowie is a pervert, but he’s a pervert in a good way.”
Maybe you had to be there…
“Man, that girl is nasty. I saw her at the free clinic when I was taking care of my chlamydia.”
And he was dead serious.
