Sometimes a gal needs a good laugh. What can I say?

I’m all about chasing away the sad in lieu of making way for the glad. Call me kooky.

To that end, I sought out a little funny — and found these stories courtesy of the Associated Press’ News Oddities Page:

• German court: Naked landlord doesn’t justify lower rent

“A German court said Wednesday that a landlord sunbathing naked in the courtyard of his building wasn’t a reason for his tenants to reduce their rental payments.”

Ick. I’d rather just pay the higher rate, thank you very much!

I find this one particularly perplexing. I guess I just assumed it you’re willing to wear your birthday suit to a public beach, you’re not exactly modest? Nor should you be with the sunscreen, I would guess.

Oh my.

• Spoon spotted: Arizona Dairy Queen’s big red spoon found

“A giant red spoon that was stolen from an Arizona Dairy Queen and sparked a mystery on social media was found Monday morning, and it’s partly thanks to Pokemon GO.”

I’m not sure what’s stranger, the fact that someone swiped said spoon or that the hero of the day is a pocket monster? And for the record, yes, I had to search Pokemon to see what it even is. Old geezer status for PK.

The United Press International had its own share of guffaw-led headlines:

• More than 150 beverages delivered to woman’s home without explanation

“A Sydney, Australia, woman is trying to solve a mystery after hundreds of dollars’ worth of drinks, including Gatorade, Powerade, Coke and Fanta started showing up at her home.”

Guess someone somewhere thought she was worthy of a beverage soiree?

• Red squirrel is not impressed after getting stuck in a manhole cover

“A spokesman for the local fire department said: ‘This turned out to be quite complicated as the squirrel was uncooperative.’ The squirrel reportedly tried to bite its rescuers, but was soon released from the manhole cover.”

Maybe this was his happy place and he just didn’t appreciate getting evicted? And, for the record, was he interviewed to confirm this claim?

Hmpf.

• Woman thinks she’s found an owl in her frothy morning coffee

“‘An owl comes to mind but I sort of see a seal in my mug with espresso and steamed milk,’ said Amber from Portland, Oregon.”

Hmm. Methinks something a bit stronger than milk was included in this cup of joe?

Anyhoo, I just thought these tales were share-worthy, if not all out silly!

And I’m always interested in goofiness in all its glory. So please contact me with any trivial, meaningless or otherwise inane topics and ideas that happen along your way and I’ll share it with my immense and loyal following.

OK fine, it’s just my Mom and son, but they think I’m a hoot!
