Something Good, Good God

A few nights ago we watched Kung Fu Hustle, and it was so funny I almost died. No, not really. But it reminded me of almost dying, because the last time I laughed that hard, at a movie anyway, I almost did die, because I was on morphine and had a ten-inch incision in my abdomen that was being held together, not with stitches or staples, but with tape. We didn't actually have to call for the nurse, but we did have to turn off the movie. (It was Raising Arizona, and I haven't watched it since, but I suspect the morphine had something to do with how funny I found it.)

Shaolin Soccer, which we watched the next day, is also very very funny. It didn't make me remember almost dying, though.
