Things that make me laugh, part one

I thought it would be fun to focus on things that make me laugh.

This is something I got as a forward years ago, and just thinking about it still cracks me up. It might not mean as much to people who didn't play in marching bands, but hopefully you'll still enjoy it:

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER FROM THE PERCUSSIONIST'S PERSPECTIVE

Oh, say can you BOOM, CRASH

By the dawn's early BOOM, CRASH

What so proudly we BOOM, CRASH

At the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright BOOM, CRASH

Through the perilous BOOM, CRASH

O'er the ramparts we BOOM, CRASH

Were so gallantly streaming? 3 &

1...2...3...

2...2...3...

3...2...3...

4...2...3...

5...2...3...

6...2...3...

7...2...3...

8...2...Oh,

BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOM BOOOOOMMMM; BOOM

BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOM BOOOOOMMMM; BOOM

BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

One of my favorite movies when I need a good belly laugh is Noises Off. Here are a few of my favorite lines:

"I thought I heard my voice!"

"I've had directors who were geniuses and some of them were bas***** but I've never had one who was so totally and absolutely, I don't know."

"Am I in Spain? No I'm not in Spain, dear, I'm in agony, that's where I am!"
