The King

I went to the fish market with my work buds on Saturday. It got really cold, but we sat and bantered for a few hours.

Some time during, a seagull landed on the deck beside us and we saw it had a tag on its right foot. Started talking about animal tagging when suddenly the silent J spoke up.

"Nah mate, that ring on its foot means it's king of the gulls."

Maybe the cold had gotten to our heads, but at the time, it was the most ridiculously funny thing anyone could have said. We were laughing so hard we had to wipe tears from our eyes.

This type of conversation takes you nowhere, teaches you nothing and really has no meaning. But for the full five minutes of thigh slapping and teary eyes laughing, every lingering worry and thought just disappeared and I just had a really, really good laugh.

I always laugh at really weird things. But it's good to know that I've found other like people ahaha.
