Why It’s Good To Lose Your Hubcaps
- Image via Wikipedia
On June 4th, I lost my hubcap in Akron. That was the first time that’d ever happened to me. Now my car looks like a ghetto car.
Since I’ve joined the ranks of the hubcap-needy, my awareness has shot up. I feel a strange camaraderie among us. We have something in common.
This is how a humor mind-set starts. We claim the identity of a humorous person.
1. We own our personal sense of humor. I drive a Corolla, my hubcap was specifically for a Corolla. My sense of humor may not make people roll in the aisles all the time. But it’s mine.
2. We become aware of others like us. We are attuned to others’ sense of humor and we take that as it is, rather than take offense.
3. We claim a unified front. We are one of the many in this grouping of humorous people. We share a common characteristic as well as a common goal: to spread humor wherever we can.
What if YOU lost your hubcap. would you
—try to ignore it
—try to hide it
–try to run out and get a new one so you can blend in?
Why not give it some time and enjoy the connection with the other vehicular-challenged. And see how funny THAT is!
