Can you believe it? It’s finally over. I think I speak for everyone when I say that there were times when I really felt like it would never end, and might just keep going forever.

Can you believe those last few minutes, too? Wow. I never saw that coming. I mean, with a dictionary?!? That’s gotta be one of the least-Euclidian ways of finishing something like this that I’ve ever heard of, let alone seen in person.

And when the whack-a-moles starting rolling into the streets? A friend of mine did predict that, but none of us believed her. She’s having the last laugh, of course.

Is the last laugh really such a big deal? The rest of us had a huge number of laughs before her last one, so even though her laugh was last, ours were much more plentiful. We had far more laughing at her wacky whack-a-mole theory than she ever laughed at us for being wrong. I would think that at some point laughing last wouldn’t be able to outweigh all the earlier laughs.

Lets say there was only one person laughing at her, and that happened twice before she got the last laugh. Her last laugh would definitely win out over the earlier laughs. But, what if there were hundreds of people laughing at her at least once a day for four or five years? Would her brief last laugh really make up for (let alone supercede) all that laughing.

I’m not saying that’s the case, I’m just presenting it as a possibility. And if that does turn out to be true, can we then go back to our friend and laugh at her yet again? “Ha ha, your last laugh was less than all our previous laughs at you!” And then we’d get the last laugh after all, and be super winners in the laugh contest.
