Ted Malanda makes me laugh during the hardest times. The son of polis knows how to bring out the humour in everything... This is a piece by Ted 

***

When you are a child, you are always finding amusing things to laugh at.

Bird craps on teacher's forehead, you laugh. Mum falls, you laugh. You see a goat taking a piss, you laugh your guts out. At least once every week, something makes you laugh so hard your tummy aches.

But as you age, you increasingly find fewer and fewer things to laugh at. A whole week can go by without you laughing. You barely remember the last time you had a roaring laugh.

By the time you are 80, you have seen so much BS that the only thing that makes you laugh is the rare occasion when a certified idiot makes sense.
