Awkward Humor
My blog is titled “The View from My Chair” because sitting in a wheelchair sometimes gives one a different perspective. I have been using a wheelchair my entire life, so that perspective is ingrained in me. I’m also someone who has a weird sense of humor and when that humor gets filtered through my different perspective it becomes awkward humor. Here’s an example. Today I ran across the phrase non 12 step program. Not being sure of what it referred to, I came up with my own definition: rehab for someone who needs a ramp. Laughing out loud! Okay, maybe you don’t get it, or maybe you don’t think it’s funny. I certainly don’t think drug and alcohol addiction is funny. I did some research on the phrase and discovered that it refers to medical rehab for addictions. That makes sense even considering my humorous definition.
