Have concerns about a "humorous" essay

[Hannah]

a few days ago, I started writing an essay that’s supposed to be sort of humorous (dry humor). I’m still in the rough draft stages and I’m getting a little concerned about the content.

The working title is “The Day I Die”. I start out by poking fun at myself, about aging, with things like, “having a wobble in my walk, but keeping the pressure on my good leg” and “having an ovary or two withering in a hazardous-waste landfill”. I even talk about “having my teeth sitting on the bathroom sink”.

The entire essay is poking fun at me. However, I don’t want to offend anyone because it may be inappropriate, or my wicked sense of humor. I have a bad feeling about it.

What do you think?

(for the record, i'm 32 yrs old)

Keep going. Good humor is bound to offend someone.

Have you listened to George Carlin lately? ;)

Write what is in you.

But not before flapping the bare wings a few times and making it dance... ;)

Hmmm.

[Birol]

Yes, Rich, we have been spying on you.

Yeah, true. I once bought three live lobsters--very expensive. I had them crawling around my kitchen before I cooked them. My dog found the threesome very entertaining. I figured if I'm gonna invest that much in a meal I'd get the most out of them.

I know that I am not the only one to stick their hand up a chicken and make it do the chicken puppet show...

I am?

Oh well.

Hanna, write what you feel. Let the others worry about whether it offends them.

When I got married my wife knew little about cooking. (Hmm, not much has changed.) She had bought a whole chicken and pulled out the innards. She came face to face with this elongaged bony structure and I had to tell her, "No, honey, that's his neck, his neck.

Can't make an omlette without breaking eggs. Drawing faces on them and performing excerpts from "Coneheads" is optional
