Please laugh responsibly.

As I sit on the multi-colored rug in my cozy apartment, I contemplate the assignment Dr. Sexson gave us after todays class. He told us to go get intoxicated. Now I know for some of you that is not the hardest task in the world. You probably were going to do it anyway and are thanking our professor for giving you an excuse when you, once again, get pulled over for a DUI. "I am telling the truth, Officer. My teacher did tell us to intoxicate ourselves." Maybe you should get a written note from Dr. Sexson, just in case. Although I am legally able to drink I choose not to. (An involuntary gasp escapes the readers). As you can already guess, this assignment isn't going to be easy for me. I was pleased to hear Sexson explain that there are many different forms of intoxication and I mean to find such another one. So my mind has been contemplating the many different (legal) forms of "enjoyment." Well, my knowledge of all the different kinds of intoxicating pasttimes is limited so my list was very short. Whenever I cannot decide on something or have an issue spelling I usually ask the opinions of my trusty roommates. They fully enjoyed hearing of my predicament and were willing to take me, at that moment, to the closest bar and "help" me accomplish the task. Not exactly the impute I was looking for. I therefore have concluded that most people cannot "think outside the box." As soon as the word "intoxicate" is mentioned, they instantly assume from alcohol. Yes. I too am one of those people but it does not make it any less true.

Laughter. Laughing? Can that be intoxicating? I think it can. I have witnessed people fall over with laughter; uncontrollable laughter. It is hilarious to watch them. Just watching them can give others a temperary "intoxication." Something that always consumes me and makes me laugh so hard is when I watch "The Office." By the way, Micheal Scott is a present day Hermes. Just putting that out there. In order to help me with my assignment, my wonderful roommates have decided to turn on the third season of "The Office." Bring on the intoxication of laughter!!!
