Speaking of: Being Silly

Funny people get all the attention. They tell the best stories at the parties. They get all the best girls. They are able to charm their way out of sticky situations with a wink and a one-liner. Funny people have it made.
But being funny is also overrated. Sure, I love someone with a quick wit, but you know who I really like spending time with? Silly people. People that just do dumb crap for the hell of it. People that don't really laugh with their brains; they laugh with their lack-thereof. The kind of person who leaves you shaking your head asking, "What was the thought process that made you want to do that?" Sometimes it's better to be an idiot than a comic.
Because in my experience, funny people are motivated by making other people laugh, but silly people are motivated by making themselves laugh. And that's a more fun person to be around in my book.
