My humor has always been border lined inappropriate. For instance, during the movie Night Of The Twisters, there is a part where a lady gets hit in the face with trash can lid and flies back. I laughed so HARD. While most people gasp, I laugh. Even now, while I write this, I'm snickering under my br...
