Aspie traits ever make you hysterical?

heh, and they say motor control isn't a core symptom of asperger's!

I assume you do not work in an antique shop, yes?


Oooo, watch the priceless Ming Dynasty vase!

I crack myself up often due to clumsiness and mis-speaking. I sometimes get too excited for syntax and just say all the main words in random order, then laugh at my own non-sentence and am too busy being in hysterics to explain myself to bewildered listeners. Noted example - "Sliding go grass astro fun board!" meaning "I want to slide down the grassy hills near the star-gazing place on cardboard."

I once had the most fantastic opportunity - the girl I had a crush on invited me on a picnic - just us two. We got some food then found a sunny spot on a grassy hill and ate. The sun moved, so we left the rest of the food and went further up the hill and chatted (and even cuddled!!), and my whole right lower leg fell asleep from being still for half an hour. I didn't notice though, so when I tried to use it when I stood up, I put it down upside down (toes under) and went flying forward. Due to years of gymnastics and martial arts training, I instinctively rolled rather than splatting, but the hill was really steep, so I couldn't stop rolling - I went about 15m down the hill head over heels and landed splat in the middle of the left over lunch - I got covered in butter chicken!
I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes even though I'd sprained my ankle and made a fool of myself in front of a gorgeous girl.

I also nearly suffocated in 1m deep powder snow because I snowboarded into a tree and was so weak from laughing at the slap-stick nature of the fall that I couldn't get up.

Those are the best I can remember at the moment, I'm sure there are more.

yeah...for me it isn't so much that I run into things, it is more like I gravitate towards stationary objects. I admit that I am always walking around with my head in the clouds, but sometimes I can walk into a room that's empty except for one piece of furniture, and I will still drift/collide into it.

I once had a supervisor who was always saying things that offended people. I never could figure out if she was doing it deliberately, or was she just that inept? Anyway, she accosted me in the lobby of the workplace, and demanded to know how old I was. I told her, and she blurted out something about people in my ethnic group not aging like everyone else.

Before thinking it through, I replied, "Wow! All this time, I thought it was Oil of Olay!" I got a laugh from several other co-workers, and congratulated all day as the story went around. I still get a chuckle from that come-back. The thing is, I didn't realize that I was supposed to be offended, until others said so. And I didn't realize that she had been inappropriate by demanding personal information in a public place, thus putting me on the spot. And, I really did think it was the use of moisturizer that had kept my complexion young.

Like a wayward comet into a celestial bodies gravity well.
