Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is not currently doing any hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. The function was called too early (before the plugins_loaded action) to determine the plugin source. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Comments on: Someone Flipped Me The Bird! https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/someone-flipped-me-the-bird/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are!

As I always say…we have two choices in life; laugh or cry…I choose to laugh! Sometimes it gets me in to trouble, like when I laugh at my husband when he is in negative mode and complaining about what a victim he is. His worst swear word is using his father’s last name (ie. his own last name) instead of f**k. It’s just ridiculous sometimes! Thanks for the great post and thanks to JC Little for connecting us!

Either way, I am glad he didn’t try to escalate the situation and I can imagine the joy you experienced by being able to laugh at his unwarranted and special behavior. Just another day in the life of public transportation.

Cheers to you! Glad though he didn’t try to mix in a little martial arts or soemthing to prove his point, but I think you and your dog would have made short work of him.

That’s comedy, I don’t care who ya are. My girlfriend loves it when I laugh at her during a ridiculous spell, I mean, a fight. I could probably stop. In my family, we laugh at newborns when they cry. I don’t know why we think it is so funny. It stops being funny at 2 am, but I digress. I don’t want to invalidate someone, but cutting a bully to the core? I may fall prone to that.

I love this posting and your blog. Found out about you on Twitter. I do this same thing but I usually have to tell myself to start laughing or making a “joyful” comment because I tend to be a deer in headlights until I pull myself out of it. Yes, don’t ever give up your power to someone who is insecure and self loathing enough to try to break others down.

Consider me a new fan.

This was the laugh I needed to get my Saturday started
There is always someone in Philly on the EL flipping someone the bird. I have yet
to be the recipient however I always laugh when I watch people become so angry over something so trivial. I’ll be reading more!! I appreciate your artistry…
