Are you childish?

[Akela3rd]

 

I'm 52 years old, have a responsible job, been with the Mrs for 25 years, paid off the mortgage and I run a Scout group. I am qualified to drive heavy goods vehicles, 36 tonne excavators and teach both archery and axe throwing to others under my instruction.

However...

My brother sent me this birthday card last week and I still snigger at the thought of it.

So, to answer my own question - clearly, I am.  What about you?

I think your brother and I must be related! Love the card. Stealing the Idea for my brothers birthday an 3 weeks!

[ayepatz]

I still laugh at farts.

Is farting at your two a half year old daughter wrong?

[GrouchoMarx]

My brother and I send fart-themed birthday cards to each other every year!

We have a rule in my house, which the kids enthusiastically enforce:

If you burp you must say 'pardon me', but if you fart then you point at someone else.

My five year old girl can do a belch that shakes the windows.

Farting in her presence for laughs?  Not wrong.  Farting AT her?  Yes.  Very disrespectful.

She does it to me too!

And then there are those days where she looks me firmly in the eye and utters 'wipe my bum daddy!' Then laughs.

I am 42 yo.

If I compare when my parents were 42 I am a baby. In my age they were all married, with children, almost grandparents, no big changes in the horizon.

Things are very different nowadays. At least where I live.

absolutely.  I never miss an opportunity to make a joke in open court.  Really, why should any of us act our age?

Same here. However, I don’t tell jokes during closing arguments in front of a jury anymore. Last time all I heard was crickets...

Yeah, I can imagine that's a tough crowd to get laughs from.

Haha that’s what I told myself at least!

I still run excitedly out the front door when I hear the ice cream man coming. This may be more of a fat bastard thing rather than a childish thing.?

No one can beat a fat man in the 100 yard ice cream van sprint. Last time I ran to one I beat all my mates by a good margin. My trousers were around my ankles die to running that fast and not having an adequate belt system in place.

As a baby lawyer I learned to avoid lowbrow humor the hard way.  Was cross-examining a conga line of incredible witnesses in a bench trial, scoring one three-pointer after another, feeling cocky. Decided to mock the other side with My Cousin Vinny:  

Vinny: But your honor, my clients didn't do anything.
Judge Haller: Once again, the communication process broken down. It appears to me that you want to skip the arraignment process, go directly to trial, skip that, and get a dismissal. Well, I'm not about to revamp the entire judicial process just because you find yourself in the unique position of defending clients who say they didn't do it.

Humorless bastard stared at me blankly until I had to move on or risk having to explain it. 

I wish I had just farted. 

Since then, highbrow/academic humor with a judge, none with a jury.

Yea, and those are some flop sweats that might take a few trips to the dry cleaners to get out too. 

Mostly I like to tell jokes in voir dire, and at bench conferences.  There's nothing better than getting the judge to crack up in front of a jury after the serious "OBJECTION....counsel approach" situation.

My wife seems to think so...

I am infantile. I aspire to be childish
