Humoraholics Anonymous
You're in the right place, friends.This is the weekly meeting of HA - Humoraholics Anonymous.Welcome, all!Well, I see many horrified new faces here tonight.No fear. We have enough caffeine and sugar on the back table to blow your frazzled minds - and most likely feed a few additional addictions. Ha, Ha.Sorry, I joked in a compulsive way. I'm working on that.Now, who wants to go first so you can get it over with first?
Moi* stands up:
"Hi, I'm Barb and I'm a humoraholic."
I can't get enough funny stuff to read. I crave humor 24-7. I subscribe to every humor blog I can get my clammy, trembling hands on. I paste New Yorker Magazine cartoons on my walls. I live for my next fix of funny. I read everything that's remotely amusing. I reread the classic humorists every chance I get... James Thurber, Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Ogden Nash. I attend humor conferences like The Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop and AATH where my fellow enablers enable me to my heart's delight! When I'm feeling particularly desperate, I confess I troll YouTube for clever cat videos.There's so much comedy out there to consume. And so little time. 
I forget to sleep. I neglect my family. I don't eat nutritious meals, let alone cook them.I admit there's a monkey on my back - unfortunately he is laughing uncontrollably and has a banana stuck up his nose.I am seeking guidance from a higher source. I plan to check into Le Rire** Rehab! A place of quiet free from comic distractions.Where one can only create humor...and not consume it in excess.Join me. I'm Barb and I'm a humoraholic.
