L O L

I think people use the term "LOL" way too much when writing emails or texting. I mean, how often does someone really laugh out loud? A giggle, sure. A chortle here and there, yes. Even laughing is common, but out loud? Loud?

I did today. I was eating my lunch in my office at work, and I let out a real, loud burst of laughter when I saw the following headline from The Onion:

Stouffers to Include Suicide Prevention Tips on Single-Serve Microwaveable Meals

Really. I may have caused a disturbance at my work place when I saw that.  I was laughing and it was loud.

Here's the news report from The Onion.

Get ready to laugh out loud. Really.

    We have gone international. LOL IS used way too much. This year we are hosting a young exchange student from Thailand. (Are you giving tours???) Any who In Thai, the number 5 is said as "HA". So in Thai they don’t say LOL they say 5555! Much more accurate!
    BTW, great story!
