The Funniest Stuff on TV
What people don't realize is that the funniest stuff on tv isn't at night. It's during the day, specifically at 1 pm eastern. Wanna know what it is? It's Passions, my favorite soap opera. Oh yeah, I'll watch Days and sometimes it's good for a chuckle (although right now I'm really feeling sorry for Sami - I hope things work out for her). But for head thrown back laughter, you have to watch Passions.
Today, Noah was put in jail by the sinister Alistair Crane for loving (on a beach) his granddaughter Fancy. It wasn't enough to send him to jail, but he also arranged a cellmate for him. This guy, Thumper, was wearing muscle shirt and pleated pants and kept snorting. Noah tried to placate him by offering the pillow and the only cot in the cell, and for a minute there you think Thumper will be happy with the pillow because he goes and picks it up. However, we learn it's only to be used as a weapon (huh?). Thumper pounces toward Noah, who leaps agiley out of the way. Thumper gives it another try. Once again, Noah escapes by jumping onto the bed. Unfortunately, Thumper runs into the cell bars and falls down, out cold. Noah is out on bail before Thumper gets another chance.
Seriously, people just don't appreciate soap operas for their comedic value. Not to mention they teach me a lot about life. Like how not to live it.
