Closet Funnies
The Closet is not a fun place to be but once you're out, we can all laugh about it!
Remember that most poignant scene of all in the movie Brokeback Mountain? Ennis visits Jack's oppressive and hostile childhood home after his death and while there, finds hidden in his closet Jack's coded shrine to the early days of their love -- Ennis' and Jack's shirts nestled together on one hanger next to a postcard of Brokeback thumbtacked to the closet wall. That scene breaks my heart every time I see it.
So let's give the last word on long-term life and love in the closet to the middle-aged Jack --

ReplyDelete#2 - spouse and I got a chuckle outta that one this morning. and the keith haring art makes it perfect!
ReplyDeleteWe have some family still in the closet so we go and visit them there instead. That is fine too, we still love them even if their society blocks their door.

ReplyDeleteHaha. Jack's got it down. I loved the joke about none of the kids liking boys. Except the boy.
ReplyDeleteHope all's well for you and Rare One.
LOL at Grandma's comment! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Very good. Although when I started, I took your subject line literally and was pretty skeptical about how many good jokes that could provide... :oP
ReplyDeleteBack after a looooong break. The one about the kids made me laugh my head off--thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteHahaaa, the grandma is great! :D Didn´t know about any closet jokes before this!!!

Semi permanent... Haha!!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen Brokeback Mountain. I guess I should!
ReplyDeleteKeeping a straight face - good one.
ReplyDeleteI think someday the usage of "straight" for this will lose it's meaning.
Lots of funny things to enjoy here, Debra! I got a special kick out of the Narnia one!
ReplyDeleteThese were fantastic! Thanks for the chuckles...and then you just had to add the one that would make me a bit sad. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteElsie
Hilarious! The Narnia one....BAHAHAHAHAHA. OHMYGOSH but that is funny! And the one about going home for the holidays. I don't know where you find these but they are just too good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Brokeback Mountain yet. I am WAY overdue!
I loved that movie and was sobbing when he opened that closet..sigh*
ReplyDeleteThese all made me chuckle. I think everyone should be able to get a laugh out of themselves!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen Brokeback Mountain. A friend wants me to watch it with her. That sounds like a very powerful scene.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get these?? Great post..It's been a long time, I need to revisit Brokeback..
ReplyDeleteThe dad kids coming out meme cracked me up... and the two shirts cracked my heart.
