The truth is that I have never known what a “guffaw” was until tonight. It’s totally crazy. I mean, I knew what it was supposed to be. I did see Mary Poppins. Remember the scene when Dick Van Dyke’s character was telling about laughter and what it sounded like? Well, he did cover a number of them at the time.
However, my experiences have taught me many things but the guffaw was not one of them. Tonight, I found out. See, I wrote a story about our dying television set. It isn’t gone yet but it will be some day soon. And I mentioned my husband who really likes gadgets, all kinds, so I mentioned a few of the gadgets.
That wasn’t what did it. What really did it was when I specifically said something about needing a technoweenie to do the work on putting everything together when buying a new set and accessories. I knew when my husband had read the story. There was this silence, then what sounded like choking, then the “guffaw”. You know, laughter. It took me a minute to figure out that’s what he was doing. I actually thought he was choking. Must have been the cough drop he usually has in his mouth. Musta swallered it.
