Friday Funnies: Funny Love Notes

This week on The Love Project we're talking about Love Notes.

The video is a kind of cute little video of a man struggling for the right words for his love note.

Do you like to use humor in your writing? I know for me, a sense of humor is very important, so I love a little humor mixed in with a "love note." The best way I've found to do this is to remember a time the two of you laughed together and then refer to it in your note... sometimes writing a little poem where only the two of you will "get" the joke is the best kind of humor in a "love note."

For example, I once had a boyfriend who was very proper and told me he never farted in front of his wife (back in the days when he was married.) He actually went into the bathroom to do his farts. Except one day, he had bad gas so he went to a back bedroom. He told me how his wife came sniffing in like a dog and her nose led her to the bed where he'd been sitting. She actually put her nose right on the mattress where he'd been sitting and wanted to know why it stunk!

When my boyfriend told me this story, we were both laughing uncontrollably. In fact, I'm laughing right now as I'm writing about it. It was just so funny. I teased him that I'd know he really loved me when he felt comfortable farting in front of me.

That Valentine's Day I wrote him a poem. I remember one of the stanzas was something like:

I'll know I've really captured your heart
On that special day when I hear your fart

Of course, there was a lot more -- all very funny. At least we were laughing.

Warning: Wine or other alcohol may be a key in finding humor in something that may sound stupid when sober.
